Re: Any chance gettimeofday() or other millis- or even nanos-precision time function stays in the default Gawk distribution?

I wrote a desperate number of lines of code in gawk. I'm working with
complex regular expressions. I have more than 20 libraries on a variety of
topics. you'd rather works on cutting features than implement new ones.
take at least the namespace feature. useless. you want that i'm writing
every time awk:: before a calling every standart function? just try to
write in your own programming language something more difficult than 2 + 2
and you will be surprised being on the bottom of the head
