We'll think about it...

There already is a "curval" subcommand. Doesn't that do what you
expect?

Well, the clock command in Tcl is definitly something that has its
problems, at least upto version 8.4.X. In Tcl 8.5 the clock command
has been reimplemented (basically from scratch) and I think it's worth
just waiting for that. There is a new -locale switch to clock format
that takes care of your problem.
Regarding your example: I tried to get the cookie time format for
Websh right for quite some time. My solution doesn't play with the
environment, as I've seen strange side effects (you actually pointed
some of them out to me ;-) . Fact is: your code wouldn't work on OSX,
as the timezone string will not be "GMT", but "UTC", so if you want to
use it until Tcl 8.5 is out, look at Websh's fiddling with the locale
independent time format in cookie.ws3 lines 160ff.

Thanks :-)
