    Description

      MariaDB [test]> select localtime;
      +---------------------+
      | localtime           |
      +---------------------+
      | 2024-08-28 13:48:03 |
      +---------------------+
      

      Looks wrong. According to the standard, LOCALTIME should return the TIME data type as follows:

      a) If <time precision> TP is specified, then LOCALTIME(TP) is equivalent to:
       
        CAST (CURRENT_TIME(TP) AS TIME(TP) WITHOUT TIME ZONE)
       
      b) Otherwise, LOCALTIME is equivalent to:
       
        CAST (CURRENT_TIME AS TIME WITHOUT TIME ZONE)
      

      LOCALTIME and LOCALTIMESTAMP are implemented as aliases to CURRENT_TIMESTAMP:

      lex.h:  { "LOCALTIME",	SYM(NOW_SYM)},
      lex.h:  { "LOCALTIMESTAMP",	SYM(NOW_SYM)},
      

      The alias for LOCALTIME is wrong. It should alias to CURRENT_TIME instead of CURRENT_TIMESTAMP.
