That is a bit beside the point, a HLL abstracts machine (CPU) operations
at the hardware level.

That is work for a portable library. You could write that in C. But a
portable library is high up on the ladder of difficult software, well
above your average library or portable program (which are both well
above a non-portable program).

And who told you that your target does have a timer 0?
