Well, leaving that rant aside, I'm still tempted to say that times
in Perl 6 are TAI seconds since 2000. Standard TAI would work too.
I've wondered sometimes about the idea of having a dual/moving epoch.
By this, I mean that you have eg. two Ints, one which represents the years
since 1AD or whatever, and the other of which represents the number of seconds
from the beginning of that year. I'm sure many of you can see the advantages
and disadvantages of that scheme better than I can, but I thought I'd throw it
out there so you can all see whether or not you like it.
