I've made a note in the source code.  It is only used in
one place, as part of the event system.  My preferred
option would be to simply put in a macro that disables
the use of the time function if TCL_VERSION < 8.4
and document the lack of functionality in 8.3.5 (and earlier)
in the man page.

Cheers,
