now() more precise than the transaction - Mailing list pgsql-general

I know this was discussed a while back, and I just reviewed the discussion. It
looks like the proposal was to make now('immediate') get the exact current
time.

But is there a way to get that now? I can't find anything in the FAQs or in
the 7.3 docs that indicates any of the functions do anything other than
now('transaction').
