Your points are all true for {nanoseconds: true} too.

And if support for milliseconds is implemented, what would you expect from elapsed(nanoseconds: true, milliseconds: true)?

Ditto.

Ditto.

And it's because of the operator syntax.

You propose the method not to take any arguments?
I had supposed that you'd wanted the keyward argument.
