How would this be stored? As a floating point number? What about
sub-second accuracy? To get seconds you'd need about 5.15 decimal
places (let's just call that 6) I think it should be stored as 2 numbers,
the julian day and the seconds into that day.
Also, I'd bet that most people only use time() in conjunction with one
of the other date/time routines to get hours/minutes/formatted
time/formatted date/whatever. Will these other date-ish routines have
to be modified to understand mjdate() output?
