Well, if it makes you feel any better: yes, it seems that you're doing it the right way, and yes the right way is awkward. Perhaps it's time to deprecate old-time and get directory to use the time datatypes directly? While we're at it, maybe we could deprecate old-locale as well. It's always awkward starting a new project and importing an old-* library immediately...
