Feature #8096

Updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) about 11 years ago

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

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

 So instead of 

   

 (({> Time.now.to_i # Outputs => 1363274618 1363274618})) 

 one could use 

  

 (({> Time.current_timestamp # Outputs => 1363274618 1363274618}))
