Interesting idea. Although I think this feature is high-level enough 
that it shouldn't be implemented in Pipmak itself, but in the project. 
If only because Pipmak doesn't know how to render a clock in a way that 
fits the graphical style of the game.

Of course Pipmak needs to provide the infrastructure for it, which it 
currently doesn't.

That is deliberate, because I don't want projects to be able to do 
certain things like executing arbitrary shell commands or deleting 
arbitrary files. Although perhaps it would make sense to include the 
useful parts of the os library (like os.date and os.time) and only 
exclude the problematic ones (os.execute etc.).
