Is midnight 00:00 or 24:00?

I think that pretending to support UT1 and TAI on most computers is too
much of a fiction to be justifiable in a library of this kind. The vast
majority of programs don't need absolute time to sub-second accuracy, and
the vast majority of operating systems can't even support UTC leap seconds
correctly. Time specialists do need this stuff, but they'll have their own
code.

Tony.
