Should the try_now method in the Clock trait take a &mut self instead of &self?

[seanybaggins]

It would be nice if try_now would update the internal state of the clock before attempting to return the time. As it currently stands, it is up to the user of the clock to make sure it is updated before they attempt to call try_now. Thoughts?

Sorry for the ridiculously long delay in responding. I'm really hoping to get back into a pattern of working on this crate.

In my implementations, I have been reading directly from hardware which doesn't necessitate changing the internal state of the Clock object. Do you have an implementation that would require that?
