Hi Jeremy!

Thanks for your offer to contribute. We're always looking for people to add
good ideas to the package. Time series data can be tricky to handle
appropriately, and so I think we generally try to pass it off to more
specialized packages that focus on that. Andreas may have a more detailed
perspective on this though.
