### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Many other databases, such as Postgres, support the common standard function `CURRENT_TIMESTAMP`, but datafusion does not, as of yet. Support for this function was also mentioned in #251, but not implemented there either. It would be nice to have this function to improve compatibility and make it easier for people who are used to having this function to use datafusion. ### Describe the solution you'd like This should be as easy as adding an override for the `aliases` function in the `impl ScalarUDFImpl for CurrentTimeFunc` block. It could just return `&["CURRENT_TIMESTAMP".into()]`, afaict. ### Describe alternatives you've considered None ### Additional context Supporting `CURRENT_TIMESTAMP` as an alias for `now()` is even mentioned in the documentation for the `aliases` function in the `ScalarUDFImpl` trait definition, so I worry that I am missing some context regarding why `CURRENT_TIMESTAMP` isn't supported in datafusion yet, but if I am, I can't tell what it is. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
