I simply don't grok that.

The idea behind the conversion functions is

	std.${typename}(${convert_this}, ${use_this_if_you_cant})

Nothing prevents

	std.time("Mon Dec 15 20:11:04 UTC 2014", std.now())
and
	std.time("1418674264", std.now())

from giving the same result ?

I really hate rfc1123 as a name...
