Ah, but look at this under current tree:

test=> create table kk (x datetime default current_timestamp);
CREATE
test=> \d kk
Table "kk"
Attribute | Type | Extra
-----------+----------+------------------------------------------
x | datetime | default timestamp(datetime('now'::text))

Internally, it is using 'now'.
