Is there some variable or parameter in MIT Scheme that will show me the
decoded time at which the Scheme was started?

Why do I ask? Well, (real-time-clock) gives time since Scheme started
whereas (get-decoded-time) returns a structure of YMDhms of the current
local time zone time. What I want to do is define DECODED-TIME->REAL-TIME
and REAL-TIME->DECODED-TIME. Since the decoded time is grounded on midnight
Dec 31 1900, whereas real-time is grounded on whenever Scheme was started,
I need a way of regrounding one in terms of the other.
