I am wondering why milliseconds->time is deprecated in the first
place.  The internal #<time> object stores times in milliseconds
itself, so to simulate milliseconds->time, we have to do a floating
point division by 1000 just to have Chicken multiply it back by 1000.
What is the justification for that?
