Returns the number of clock ticks since the start of the process.
Supported on systems with @code{clock(3)} (q.v.).
@emph{Warning:} this intrinsic does not increase the range
of the timing values over that returned by @code{clock(3)}.
On a system with a 32-bit @code{clock(3)},
@code{@0@} will return a 32-bit value,
even though converted to an @samp{INTEGER(KIND=2)} value.
That means overflows of the 32-bit value can still occur.
No Fortran implementations other than GNU Fortran are
known to support this intrinsic at the time of this
