Some are undoubtedly left over from the AOLserver 2.x days when Tcl 7.4
did not have many functions that have since been added (in 7.6 & 8.x).
There is no real reason for [ns_time] over [clock seconds], but the former
persists for compatability purposes, and [clock] didn't appear until Tcl
7.5 or 7.6.
