Well done:  0.027ms (1GHz G4)

I'd considered the value function, but sometimes I get skittish about it 
for fear of object names that may evaluate to valid expressions.

But apparently since the name is in quotes it doesn't matter -- I even 
named my stack "time()" and it still only returned the first-level 
evaluation (removing the quotes to obtain the string "time()").

Good job, Jacque.
