Subject: [ruby-core:57562] [CommonRuby - Feature #8096] introduce	Time.current_timestamp


Issue #8096 has been updated by headius (Charles Nutter).

Assignee set to akr (Akira Tanaka)
Target version set to Ruby 2.1.0

This is now provided by #8658 in 2.1, but according to matz in the developer meeting notes linked there, Process::clock_gettime is not considered "spec".

So I'm not sure if this can be closed or not...we need to decide.

Optimistically assigning to akr.

Feature #8096: introduce Time.current_timestamp

=begin
A lot of scenarios and applications require the use of (({Time.now.to_i})) which is used as current_timestamp in systems.

The introduction of (({Time.current_timestamp})) {or something with similar with different name} would provide implicit integer timestamp instead of going from 
(({Time.now})) -> time_object -> to_i -> integer timestamp value

So instead of

 Time.now.to_i # Outputs => 1363274618

one could use

 Time.current_timestamp # Outputs => 1363274618

=end
