Even nanosleep and usleep are wrong, since nanosleep uses a struct timespec

Select's timeout is rounded up to the nearest clock tick, while (our)
nanosleep's timeout tries to be a lot more precise.

What should we write? It's just to note that select() does in fact block for the time specified, like sleep, usleep and nanosleep do (= interruptible sleep).
