Details:

Currently there is a time&date word that reads the current time from the
system, and splits it out into s m h D M Y.  I request splitting out the
conversion part to convert an arbitrary timestamp as returned from utime:

: convert-to-time&date ( utime -- s m h D M Y ) ... ;
: date&time ( -- s m h D M Y ) utime convert-to-time&date ;

The existing date&time still operates the same way to preserve compatibility,
but the conversion part is made visible for users.

Thanks -- Paul
