Yes, I guess that is my point, that we want to make transaction _and_
statement timestamp values available, but most people are going to use
current_timestamp, and most people are going to assume it is statement
time, not transaction time.

Can I add TODO items for this:

o Make CURRENT_TIMESTAMP/now() return statement start time
o Add TRANSACTION_TIMESTAMP to return transaction start time
