Yes, well "current time" is already in the past after the next clock tick, so deadlines already passed should be accepted. I've been trying to avoid advocating zero as a special value, but I guess realistically we don't have a rollover problem for a couple hundred years. In any case, I think `deadline < now` should be allowed (ie. what if you were preempted in the process of setting a deadline, etc) I'll try to clarify this in the next version.
