As a follow-up question, in that case, does there exist any way of accessing the individual fields of the 'broken-down' time representation of the 'tm' struct? That is, are concepts like seconds, minutes, hours, days etc. exposed anywhere?
The [time] type is represented in the standard UNIX way, so that it's time zone independent, which means that no unique 'struct tm' is defined for a time. The only piece of the standard library for extracting standard human-readable components is [timef], which uses the local time zone. It seems reasonable to me to add a [timefUtc], if you think it would be useful. Also reasonable might be some system of getting time components as numbers rather than strings.
