That's not strictly true though, is it? E.g. clock_gettime() returns the number of seconds since the Epoch, which is a well-defined start time at least on *nix systems. So clearly those types of functions could return datetimes. I'm fairly certain that between those types of functions and timedeltas you could have most of the bases covered. -Barry
