Oops, forgot that as an additional issue/question.  In this patch, I went
back to mftb() as 'wall time' made more sense for the group wanting this
functionality.  It is easy to switch, or collect both (I think).  Since I
started with mftb went to PURR and then back to mftb, it certainly does
look like an agument to try and collect both. :)
