Hello,

Quick questions to make it clear:
1. Just to be sure. Is the extraction of these constants from clock_subr.h a good idea?
2. After changing the macro names to longer forms. Is it a good idea to add compatibility defines in clock_subr.h? This way:
#define SECMIN SECONDS_PER_MINUTE
3. Can I assume that with going back for the multiplication convention a user knows seconds per day (to be honest I never remembered it before :-) ). In other words, is the anti-16-bit-int campaign desired? Actually I believe that a good compiler will catch overflow immediately (clang, gcc).

Thank you.

With regards,
