Review Comment:
   Non-blocking: because `localtime` is registered as an alias for 
`CurrentTime` (prettyName `current_time`), `SELECT localtime()` yields a column 
labeled `current_time(6)` (see `sql-expression-schema.md`), whereas the 
parallel ANSI function `LOCALTIMESTAMP` is its own expression and self-labels 
as `localtimestamp()`. The aliasing is semantically correct (Spark `TIME` is 
always WITHOUT TIME ZONE, so `LOCALTIME` == `CURRENT_TIME`), so this is only a 
cosmetic naming inconsistency — worth a thought if ANSI users expect 
`localtime()` to self-label.
