You think I do? :)
I was referring to the C code implementing current-time (which, btw, has been
changed in latest):
,----
| DEFUN ("current-time", Fcurrent_time, Scurrent_time, 0, 0, 0,
| doc: /* Return the current time, as the number of seconds since
1970-01-01 00:00:00.
| The time is returned as a list of three integers. The first has the
| most significant 16 bits of the seconds, while the second has the
| least significant 16 bits. The third integer gives the microsecond
| count.
|
| The microsecond count is zero on systems that do not provide

| (void)
| {
| EMACS_TIME t;
|
| EMACS_GET_TIME (t);

| }
