It is a great article, pretty informative and certainly a big help for
anyone wanting to mess with time-related stuff in D.

But I guess the topic is just not as sexy as parallelism or efficiency
(slices are also efficiency-related, besides providing nice syntax-sugar
for array operations).

As you said, that article needed to be written and it's a valuable
addition to std.datetime's documentation.
