Yep! :-) Its originally from Comanche and I would of course like to see
something similar in some form of base image/package but I didn't want
to wait for that to come about before publishing SM.

But I agree, let's cut it out from both Comanche and SqueakMap and put
it in some neat little DateAndTime package which can contain these
things. :-)

No plans but as David Lewis pointed out, there has been work in this
area. I am not familiar with it but remember that I thought it looked
very "thorough".

It should of course be in a package though.
