Unfortunately, I wish this RFC would have taken a stand on at least a
first choice. :-( I always thought that "now" was by far the most
descriptive, because these changes really are scoped in time, and not
location (since they reach throughout code). Plus, it's short. Short
good.

I also thought there was considerable consensus on this one, at least
more than any of the others:

http://www.mail-archive.com/perl6-language@perl.org/msg01294.html

Plus you didn't even mention my "here" suggestion (which is fine,
actually, because I like "now" better anyways). :-)
