I think that datetime is more descriptive, and I have no problem with longer 
module names, so I think that I'd prefer it, but I don't really care all that 
much. The functionality is what's important, and if all date and time 
functionality is together, then it's not like it's going to be all that hard to 
find whether it's std.date, std.datetime, or std.time. Now, if we named it 
something like std.temporaltoolshed, std.temporalkitchensink, or 
std.temporalmishmash, then that would likely be a problem, but somehow I don't 
think that anyone is going for that sort of name. Any of the seriously suggested 
names thus far would likely work just fine.
