Standard class for time *period*?

On review it isn't a great match for a simple time range; it's aimed at 
expressing the time ranges into which my time series data files are 
broken up.

I think most of the code using this particular class just starts with a 
`start_unixtime` and `end_unixtime` and indexes whichever timeseries 
it's using, and these come into play internally to access the relevant 
files. There are a bunch of methods to take a pair of start/stop 
unixtimes and return time slot indices etc.

So even I don't have a purely time period class, right now anyway; 
passing around a pair of floats is so simple that I probably haven't 
elaborated on it. Just made ways to make that pair from what I'm given.
