Yes, of course. I should have said "static" and not member functions. I
still think when you take such shortcuts, you need to explain it.

While I have your attention, here is a doc bug in the 1.31 doc for
date/time.If you look at the documentation for ptime, in the section
regarding construction from Clock ( in which I assume that second_clock is
like day_clock with no explicit doc for itself ), the syntax and example for
the second table entry is out of sync as far as the name of the static class
function. It should probably be "universal_time" but the example has
"universal_day" instead.
