# General time utilities collection
#
# Implement as a module to avoid class polution. You can
# still Ruby's advanced features to include the module in your
# class. Passing the object to act upon allows to check for nil,
# which isn't possible if you use self.
#
# == TODO
#
# - SOS: add test units.
# - add aliases for those methods in Kernel ?
