Looks good 👍
Let's see how an implementation would fare, now!

My review is still the same: the RFC looks good, but we must see see and review how the integration fares before approval.

) Implements clock adjustments as proposed in [RFC 0015](crystal-lang/rfcs#15). We're using `CLOCK_MONOTONIC` everywhere except Linux (where it doesn't tick while suspended) and darwin (where resolution is only 1 microsecond). This is a breaking change on both Linux and darwin where we previously used clocks that don't count suspended or sleeping time.

I believe it's done (minus one cleanup) 👍

## Context `Time.monotonic` has been [deprecated](crystal-lang/rfcs#15) in Crystal stdlib. The new `Time.instant` API doesn't, for good reason, doesn't have any overlap with `Time`, thus making it somewhat incompatible with `ACLK::Interface`. Instead of trying to hack in some solution using `Time.instant`, this PR just removes the monotonic clock. If/when there is a usecase that comes up that would benefit from it. We could explore our options at that point. ## Changelog - Remove `ACLK::Monotonic` - Update `console` usages to use `ACLK::Native`
