It would be very useful if this overview distinguishes which of the features
below are supported in the initial implementation, versus which features
(e.g., femtosecond timestamps) are simply allowed for in a future
implementation.

Can you elaborate on the point [8] in this commit message. It's not clear
to me at least what this is about.

In the 0/4 of this patch series, this argument is called 'atflags'.
These should be consistent. 'flags' seems correct to me.
