I have no idea why anyone would want this. (Is it because the file is
too big to fit on a floppy disk? <g>)


std.datetime is kind of hard on IDE's and text editors. I know TextMate has
problems with it and Descent has problems with a lot less code.

I'm not going to defend programs that can't handle large text files, but in D one could always:

module std.datetime;

mixin(import("datetime-unit1.d"));
mixin(import("datetime-unit2.d"));
