Be careful about this -- I don't think we have finalized the namespace 
conventions for the 'current' object yet (i.e., it's possible that in the 
future the framework will use current.now for its own purpose, so this code 
would end up overwriting that). I think there was talk about setting aside 
something like 'current.app' for use by the application code. I suppose we 
should figure out something more definitive soon.
