I've used a library like this before [https://github.com/jeremyw/stamp], and realized that there were two things I didn't like about it: (1) potential ambiguity in the (user-)chosen exemplar date/time and (2) my tendency to mistake the exemplar date for an actual piece of data in the program. Go's approach probably helps with both problems.
