Also, note that you have to use the 'unixepoch' modifier with the time function so that it knows the value is seconds, not days, since floats are by default days and integers are by default seconds. The 'unixepoch' modifier tells the internal datetime functions that the provided value is relative to the unix epoch in seconds, rather than the julian epoch in days. I don't think there is a modifier to force the days from the julian epoch interpretation.
