+======Synopsis:======
+[[ctcp]] //<target>// utc //<time value>//
+======Description:======
+This "inline" CTCP request includes a timestamp as the argument.  This
+timestamp is the number of seconds since the UNIX epoch, the same as is used by
+the [[PING]] command.  The receiver's client will expand the timestamp to the
+receiver's own locale-dependent time representation.
+Older clients have been vulnerable to bugs that crashed when this ctcp was
+supplied with a maliciously crafted //<time value>//, so if you try to use this
+feature with a stranger, they will probably assume you are attacking them and
+will react with hostility.
+======Examples:======
+Let's say that you wanted to tell another user when you went away.
+When they send you a message, you send a notice back which includes
+the UTC of your departure:
+	alias away {if (@) {@away_time=time()};//away}
+	on #^msg -1 * {if (A) {notice $0 Away since ^AUTC $away_time^A}}
