I don't think so (other than maybe due to the fact that it's shorter), though 
I know that some people would think so. But it never even occurred to me to 
call it that when I wrote it, and I don't think that anyone ever brought it up 
during the review process.

Regardless, currTime works just fine, and even if now would have been better, 
it's not even vaguely worth it to rename it at this point.
