Process.clock_gettime is low level API; it is different from this high level API.
On the meeting, matz considered this high level API didn't get consensus yet.

Feature #8096: introduce Time.current_timestamp

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

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
