Library for generic timestamp handling. It is targeted at bulk processing, therefore many functions are optimized for speed, but not necessarily for ease of use. For example, formatting is done in two steps: first you need to generate a formatting function for given pattern, and only using it obtain formatted strings. Package's main feature is timestamp parsing and formatting based on Java pattern. Arbitrary timezones and locales (i.e. not necessarily those used by the system) are supported. However, specifying timezone in the input string to the parser function is not implemented yet. See functions `datetime-parser-to-float' and `datetime-float-formatter' for details. Library also supports timestamp matching. It can generate regular expressions that match timestamps corresponding to given pattern. These regular expressions can give false positives, but for most purposes are good enough to detect timestamps in text files, e.g. in various application logs. See `datetime-matching-regexp'. Finally, library provides functions to select an appropriate timestamp format for given locale. For example, function `datetime-locale-date-pattern' returns a Java pattern suitable for formatting (or parsing) date only, without time part. However, it is not required that patterns are generated this way.
