I'd strongly recommend against that: the only reliable way to establish
timing is actual iteration, and that's costly (well, one can abort it
once time 0 is over, but it still needs to get set up).  Short of that,
we'll just move the problem into more obscurity and get new surprises
when the pseudo-timekeeping gets things wrong.

Now we actually have this sort of "squeeze grace material in before the
time starts properly" mechanism already, with grace-fixup chains and
stuff.  Prepending _another_ such mechanism because the existing
mechanism fails to work reliably seems like a step towards making it
much harder to actually fix things.
