On a related note is there some reason why

Why should the int necessarily represent seconds and not some other amount of time? It's just a unit-less value.

Good question.  I guess it's because I couldn't corece
an int into an interval number of seconds. ;-)  But if it was to be
anything it should be seconds or milliseconds as those
are the only ones that make the math easy, in the sense of
working with whole numbers.
