** New variable 'current-time-list' governing default timestamp form.
Functions like 'current-time' now yield (TICKS . HZ) timestamps if this
new variable is nil. The variable defaults to t, which means these
functions default to timestamps of the forms (HI LO US PS), (HI LO US)
or (HI LO), which are less regular and less efficient. This is part
of a long-planned change first documented in Emacs 27. Developers are
encouraged to test timestamp-related code with this variable set to
nil, as it will default to nil in a future Emacs version and will be
removed some time after that.
