 Returns the current POSIX time. Use the C<now> function for an
 epoch-agnostic measure of atomic seconds (i.e., an C<Instant>).
+Note that both C<time> and C<now> are not functions, but terms
+of the pseudo-constant variety; as such they never take an argument.
+Saying C<time()> doesn't work unless you happen to have a function
+of that name defined.
