  Mandatory macro for getting the current time, see datetime.rst.  The macro
  is allowed (and recommended) to return millisecond fractions.  The fractions
  are truncated by the Date built-in, but are available via duk_get_now() C
  API call.

  If the time provided experiences time jumps or doesn't advance in realtime
  (which is useful in some time virtualization scenarios), consider defining
  DUK_USE_GET_MONOTONIC_TIME.
