This enhanced strftime is a very nice interface, in line with Perl
idiom, and should be easy to add to the code, but I think eliminating
the standalone methods is going to sharply reduce user acceptance of
the new module.
# Change the hour to 17
datetime_object -> strptime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S',
datetime_object -> strftime('%Y', '%m', '%d', '17', '%M',
%S'));
Ick. That's clearly not as nice as just saying $dt->hour(17).
