Time snapshot fixes.
Python's default arguments are purely idiotic (aka. pythonic): generated
only once. This makes sense in a purely functional language, which Python
lightyears away from, but severely limits their usefulness in an imperative
language. Decorators also seem clumsy for this, as one would have to tell
the number of positional arguments for things to work nice, being able to
pass the snapshot both positionally and as keyword. No luck.
So have to do things the old-fashioned hard way.
