this disappears when we just use floating-point seconds.

I agree that this is the superior approach. But at the same time I am not comfortable with hiding the actual resolution of the timer behind a Double. I believe this is something a wrapper for 'timeout' should do, not 'timeout' itself. Converting durations of time into different units is something far more general. System.Time should do that, not Childs.hs, IMHO. Peter
