The HERE argument of `emacs-version' is very useful to insert
the Emacs version string to the current buffer (to mail, etc.)

Maybe `emacs-uptime' should display (and insert) both how long emacs
has been running and the time when it was started up.

As for `emacs-startup-time', I think it would be useful if it displayed
how long the startup itself takes.
