Description
Good day. It not nessesery, but how about add microseconds as timeout - as additional argument or change current type to float? For example (my case) it can be used for some external API with limited requests per second. Thanks

Research direction
Start by tracing how timeout values are accepted and enforced in the mutex implementation, then review any existing timeout tests. Compare the requested float timeout with an additional microseconds argument and clarify the intended API and precision behavior. Done means the chosen timeout form is implemented consistently and covered by tests, including the external rate-limited use case.
