Well, ISO 8601 time strings are already available in SRFI-19, and
they're not particularly readable.
I realize that. The point is, if you want a function that reduces
a broken-out time object to a string, what string should you get?
The asctime(3) string strikes me as a particularly silly format.
Alternatively, you could just deprecate time->string.
(string-append
(time->string (seconds->local-time (current-seconds)))
" " (local-timezone-abbreviation))
It's called "local" but it's not localized.
Please elaborate. The 'localtime(...)->tm_zone' or 'tzname[...]' is
used, depending on platform, so assuming the POSIX locale is correct
the abbreviation should be correct. (Daylight Saving Time is an issue
on some platforms, such as MacOS 10.4 & earlier.)
