[Haskell-beginners] Storing the time difference between two Monotonic time results

[David McBride]

I guess whatever version you are using did not export that function.  In
any case the definition for that function is incredibly simple, so you
could just write your own for now.

diffTimeSpec :: TimeSpec -> TimeSpec -> TimeSpecdiffTimeSpec ts1 ts2 =
abs (ts1 - ts2)
