I find such interfaces too specific.

I'd much prefer an interface that just adds the time base as a
parameter, similar to `pthread_cond_clockdwait` or so, perhaps named
`cnd_timedwait_base`.

That would be much easier to standardize. Just take an existing POSIX
interface, adapt from POSIX clocks to time bases, use a name that fits
into the C naming scheme, and copy over and adapt the description.

Thanks
