Well, I can't say what's possible before we actually have a proposed units 
module, but I doubt that there's much in std.datetime which could be 
simplified by having a units library. The units portion of it is a fairly 
small piece. There are functions templatized on time units, but that's all so 
generic that it's not exactly much code. So, it'll be interesting to see how a 
units module might relate to it, but I question that it would really do much 
to simplify it.
