Additionally, at the risk of sounding sentimental, to me it seems slightly odd to have a "strongly timed" language that can't read the system time.

This is another one of those where the devil is in the details. Just having a function to pass through the value to C's time() would be trivial. (About 10 lines of code added to ulib_std.cpp) However, with support for time comes time zones, daylight savings time, conversions between local time and universal time, addition and subtraction of time, etc. And then it's a big pain in the ass. -Scott
