Hello,

I hope nobody minds an R7RS question. This list seems to have people
knowledgeable of R7RS. It seems weird that R7RS would specify the functions:

(current-jiffy)  -->  An exact integer representing the number of jiffies
(arbitrary unit of time) since some arbitrary epoch.

(jiffies-per-second) --> Integer representing the number of jiffies in one
second.


What could possibly be the value of these functions, given that R7RS
already specifies (current-second) as the number of seconds since the Unix
epoch? This seems like an oddly useless concept for a language that tries
to be minimalist.


Cheers,
Daniel.
