"now, here" most of the time. I don't have a single call to now() that

This doesn't seem like a good idea, since it's not backwards compatible and since 'local' may not work on every single platform.
Well, it is version 0.1x after all... ;)
Okay, so maybe a new constructor then? DateTime->localtime()? Getting the current local time seems more common than, say, constructing a DateTime object from a day of the year, IMO :)
