Functions
timestamp()
Assembles a time from its parts - the other direction from the eight functions that take a time apart. The parts are read as a wall-clock time in the exchange's own timezone, and the result is milliseconds from the Unix epoch, matching `time` and `timenow`. Two forms. Pass series arguments and you get a series int; pass simple arguments and you get a simple int. In both forms the year, the month and the day are required, and the hour, the minute and the second may be left out, each defaulting to zero.
