+Unlike other special parameters, the type of the tt(SECONDS) parameter can
+be changed using the tt(typeset) command.  Only integer and one of the
+floating point types are allowed.  For example, `tt(typeset -F SECONDS)'
+causes the value to be reported as a floating point number.  The precision
+is six decimal places, although not all places may be useful.
