I only need it down to the second and from my current machine
so I don't need to use any of the more accurate clocks used
for benchmarking right now.

toSimpleString (and toString) returns a string with fractional
seconds; which I suspect is not what Gary Miller wants.
It would be nice if all the primitive datatypes had a
consistent toString cast or function but since I'm not seeing
those I guess writeFormatted must be the preferred way of
getting values into string format.
See std.conv and the 'to' function.
data.to!(string)
data.to!(int)
etc...

Considering the international spread of D users I find it
surprising that the date & time formatting functions in phobos
are not localizable.
When working in Windows I prefer to wrap GetDateFormatEx, but it
would be nice to have an OS agnostic version.
