Hi again. 
I've been working a bit with some macros handling pretty big arrays, and I've
come to the point where I need to know times and such, and thought it'd be a
good thing to have. Not the current time of the clock, but how long has passed
since the render started.

I thought it'd be stored in a normal numeric form, returned by time():seconds,
and parsed into d.h.m.s form with a macro or a built in function t2str(t):string

This would make it possible to find out what parts of the parsing takes how long
time, and where to apply the extra effort in trimming the code.

It would also become nice to see the extra stats from a macro.

just a request. Anyone have a tip?

It would be also very handy used as #declare R=seed(time());
