Having `ns` may be a good idea.

In fact, if you do that, you could consider using separators every few
digits if the number is too large (like Rust integer literals allow
with underscores), e.g. `12_345ns`

Or you could even consider picking other units depending on the
magnitude, e.g. `12.345ms`. After all, if we are going for human
readability, then there is an argument to be made for that. Even about
showing only a few significant figures, e.g. `12.3ms`. Anyone that
needs more should probably be doing something manually with the nanos
anyway.

But it is up to you and timekeeping, of course. I guess it should be
decided depending on the expected users and what most of them would
want to see in the majority of cases.

Cheers,
