DateTime

Combines the std.datetime.date.Date and std.datetime.date.TimeOfDay structs to give an object which holds both the date and the time. It is optimized for calendar-based operations and has no concept of time zone. For an object which is optimized for time operations based on the system time, use std.datetime.systime.SysTime. std.datetime.systime.SysTime has a concept of time zone and has much higher precision (hnsecs). DateTime is intended primarily for calendar-based uses rather than precise time operations.
