Comment (by Rarst):

 `current_time()` is only retained for backwards compatibility, by now it's
 just a thin wrapper around native PHP with unfortunate logic branch
 producing the problematic "WordPress timestamp" (summed with a time zone
 offset) case.

 In current WordPress code this function ''shouldn't even be used'', so
 introducing new functionality to it is not on the table.

 Adjustments to date output in WordPress are usually handled on
 localization level, such as `wp_date()` function/filter.

 However I am not sure what you want counts as localization or more
 fundamental adjustment to whole date calculation?

 Open to see some example to understand the needs better, please. :)
