GNU sleep supports fractional intervals so "usleep 1" == "sleep 0.000001".
Heh, it does indeed! Pity it doesn't accept the suffixes ms and us too. I guess the fractions work mostly by coincidence? There is no mention in the man page.
Code to parse floating point numbers can hardly appear by coincidence and it is documented in the info page (which is the primary documentation for GNU software). I agree that additional suffixes would be useful.
