Would 'now' be even better than 'currTime'?
I don't think so (other than maybe due to the fact that it's
shorter), though
I know that some people would think so. But it never even
occurred to me to
call it that when I wrote it, and I don't think that anyone
ever brought it up
during the review process.
Regardless, currTime works just fine, and even if now would
have been better,
it's not even vaguely worth it to rename it at this point.
