Comment (by neel):

 Replying to [comment:18 mcs]:
 > I am trying to understand how Tor Browser or Tor Launcher should use
 this new capability. This may be a dumb question, but can someone explain
 what they have in mind? How are the values that will be returned by
 `current-time/local` and/or `current-time/utc` determined?

 The first is already answered in previous messages. About the second one,
 `tor_gettimeofday()` is used to return the time, and then it is formatted
 into ISO format via `format_iso_time_nospace() or
 `format_local_iso_time_nospace()` (the latter is being added with this
 bug).
