So I probably made the original mistake, but since you're modifying
it,  "persistent_clock_exists" is slightly more grammatical.

Also, maybe "sleeptime_injected".  And since these flag values are
related, can we define them next to each other (and close to their
accessor functions) rather then randomly through the file?

This is looking better! Thanks for the respin!
