Just a brief comment here - I'm not sure I see the need to be too
object-oriented here. Loading too much into classmethods of date,
time, and datetime seems clumsy (not least because everything gets
duplicated 3 times - conceptually, if not in terms of implementation).

But it's a style issue, and you'll probably always get people with
differing opinions.
