	Perhaps a way to encode/decode dates/times without a table would be 
nice too.

Example:

somedate = os.mktime(2005,08,24,10,20,30)

print(os.date('%c', somedate))
 > 08/24/2005 10:20:30

print(os.unpacktime(somedate))
 > 2005	08	24	10	20	30


	Having to create a table is expensive sometimes.

Just my $.02 :)
