Sys.time <- function() .POSIXct(.Internal(Sys.time()))

### Extensively rewritten for R 3.4.4
### There is no portable way to find the system timezone by location.
### For some ideas (not all accurate) see
### https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3118582/how-do-i-find-the-current-system-timezone

### See http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2017-December/025617.html for
### why you cannot deduce the timezone name from current abbreviations
### and offset from UTC -- cf Europe/Dublin and Europe/London which
### (despite the GB-Eire alias) have a different history including of
### DST in 1971.

### Will be called from C startup code for internal tzcode as Sys.timezone()
### For bootstrapping, it must be simple if TZ is set.

## ---- additions in 1.5.0 -----

## R 3.5.0 added a j index to the [ POSIXlt extract and replace methods,
## in order to avoid having users unclass (and reclass) for extracting
## or replacing single components (as the [[ method was changed to work
## on datetimes rather than components, and the $ methods are convenient
## for component literals only).
##
## Dealing with the j index is not quite straightforward though: we now
## insist on it being a character string, and if it does not exactly
## match a component name we extract or replace nothing.  If it matches,
## the replace method currently does not ensure the "validity" (correct
## length or type etc) of the replacement (as the internal POSIXlt codes
## seem rather generous when dealing with invalid components).
##
## Dealing with a character i index is not quite straightforward either,
## as the names of POSIXlt objects are kept in the 'year' component.  It
## seems that for extracting we can get by (and get results consistent
## with the POSIXct case) via matching i against the names of x, whereas
## this does not deal with all boundary (out-of-bounds etc) cases for
## replacing: hence for the latter, we simply add the names to all
## components (if i is character).
