Haskell platform proposal: time-extras package

[Simon Michael]

I'm not aware of all the issues, but I recently tried and failed to store time types (UTCTime, etc.) in a 
happstack-state db - IIRC they can't be serialised in happstack, because you can't derive Data instances, because some 
low-level type does not expose it's constructors. I've had to use old-time because of this. So I believe I'd be another 
+1 vote for time providing Data and Typeable instances. Thanks!
