* If one or more arguments specified, the time is initialized to the specified

* time.

* +sec+ may have fraction if it is a rational.

*

* +utc_offset+ is the offset from UTC.

* Creates a new Time object for the current time.

* If +utc_offset+ is given, it is used instead of the local time.

* Addition --- Adds some number of seconds (possibly fractional) to

* Difference --- Returns a new Time object that represents the difference

* +ndigits+ should be zero or positive integer.
