UTime.jl

Universal Time using local system timezone

#####Experimental: passes initial tests

This module lets you have whatever it is that your local system believes is Universal Time relative to the local time zone, present, past and future. And it lets you use the things that come with Base.Dates (for the most part .. not exaustively).

If you find errors, omissions, better ways, please raise an issue here.

####Asks:

1. Do Not store UT typed values in a jld file -- store their strings, they will be rereadable.

2. This is transitional -- working in multiple timezones is different.

3. The module requires the local system provides a Standard C compliant maketm_r().

4. Try UTime.ok() (not exported), if it is false is module should not be used.

5. This is transitional -- working in multiple timezones is different.

####Offers:

function	action
ut()	get the current date&time as it is in UT
ut(dtm::DateTime)	convert the local date&time dtm to UT
localtime()	get the current date&time as it is in local time
localtime(utm::UT)	convert the UT date&time to local time
UT(...)	like DateTime(...)
year(utm::UT)..	like year,month...
Year(utm::UT)..	like Year,Month...
format(utm,DateFormat)	like format(dt::DateTime, DateFormat)
much other stuff	used as with DateTime
