Description
Description
This is a feature request to accept float in set_time_limit function.
This will allow to set more precise time limit especially for very fast scripts like set_time_limit(0.1).
Native linux timeout does support float as well - https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/timeout.1.html
