 Sort of Gregorian, also a grab bag of random stuff, like monthcalendar,
 which returns a matrix representing a month's calendar.
 
 Actually, that latter bit is kind of neat.  Wonder if we need it.

Months ago I posted the beginings of a module that I called 
DateTime::Format::Calendar. The discussion that followed was that 
'format' was the wrong namespace, but the conversation ended there.

I'm happy to continue working on this, and will upload it somewhere, but 
I need a name.

No leap seconds.  Years 1 -  only! (why?!).  microsecond resolution.

No support for months in durations.  lame.

 http://www.python.org/doc/2.3/lib/datetime-tzinfo.html

Bleah.  This is just an interface.  There's no implementation included,
though last I looked somebody had implemented something that did the _most
recent_ rules, ignoring all historical changes.

 'Incomplete' Date/Time Object
 http://www.python.org/doc/2.3/lib/datetime-date.html

Sort of.

Just to be clear - I intended this to be humorous.  I was not truly equating that 
'stuff' to one true DateTime {TM}. :)
