Actions don't have a time.  Activities do have a time, and it is the
position of an index in the activity over a Schedule.  You can look at
the local structure of a Schedule using a your own index, and send
getKey to that index.  The problem is that getKey returns an object.

In Objective C it is common to casually cast between objects and
integers, however, in Java you'd need an integer.  There is actually
a special ScheduleIndex for Schedules, but its additional features aren't
exposed to Java.  You'd need to declare a protocol for that and some
a scheduleBegin: method that returned one.

To expose methods on ActionConcurrent_c, you'd have to make a protocol
for ActionConcurrent on the Objective C side, with a
setTypeImplemented entry in activity.m.  Then you'd need a new method
in ActionConcurrent_c to give you that action.
