Unfortunately, at the moment, that would mean putting TimeSpan into 
druntime (dcore?), which probably isn't going to happen.

I hope that TimeSpan can make its way into a core part of Tango 
eventually. Socket, for instance, uses struct timeval directly -- if I 
recall correctly, client code has to construct timevals, and there's no 
constructor provided.
