Apparently, the representation 'struct tm' was apparently considered to
be sufficient for C++, too.  However, there was a formatting capability
added: The facets 'time_put' and 'time_get', which can be used to
format times and dates.

Dear readers:

I was wondering if anyone knows why there are no time and date
classes in the standard C++ library?  Are C++ programmers consigned
to using the old C routines to handle time/date operations?  Are
there any other, third-party time/date C++ libraries?

Thanks,
Eric.
