I couldn't think of an example where it is a problem. But it is actually
related to why I wanted the change - resulting from a simple programming
mistake:
al_rest(last_time + 1000.0 / 60.0)
This was supposed to time the game at 60 FPS, but really timed it at
62.5 FPS, leading to all kinds of follow up problems.
