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 -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
