      You need a calendar and time handling anyways for logging purposes and to set timers correctly. It’s likely not that much extra work exposing that functionality.

        No, UNIX philosophy demands that every single one of those things is one or more separate things and that half of them are poorly or not at all maintained. Just like God intended.

            Well, date time stuff for a system working with timers and scheduling actions might be pretty useful…

            That’s not what it’s there for. It can also be used that way.
