It may take some time before that becomes a priority though.  It is a
significant amount of work to convert all date/time handling to UNIX epoch
time...  however, if we did at some point, the removal of many conversions
to and from could give us a decent amount of extra CPU cycles, although
likely not all that noticable these days with such fast processors.  It
could also allow us to remove timezone constraints as internally it would
all be UTC, essentially, and the only time the timezone really would matter
is on output to a human.

I have many other things in my queue ahead of considering this massive of a
change, so don't hold your breath :)
