Saving elapsed time in Julia 1.0.0

temp=0
@elapsed for k in 1:1000
    global temp+=k
end

will return elapsed time. But how can you save this into a variable?

temp=0
time=@elapsed for k in 1:1000
    global temp+=k
end

I think this worked in previous versions of Julia? But for 1.0.0 I get 

cannot assign variable libc.time from module Main

Also it does time the whole for loop correct? I'm really saddened by tic and toc being unusable in 1.0.0, I think the logic was simpler there.

Well, it quite clearly tells you that time is an existing variable (namely, a function) in Main:

julia> time
time (generic function with 2 methods)

So, just name your result differently:

julia> ime=@elapsed for k in 1:1000
           global temp+=k
       end
6.6707e-5

julia> ime
6.6707e-5
