- Timestamp - Convenience functions for dealing with timestamps and dates

### Constants:

- public const int64 SECOND
  A second represented as a Zeitgeist timestamp (ie. 1000ms)
- public const int64 MINUTE
  A minute represented as a Zeitgeist timestamp (ie. 60000ms)
- public const int64 HOUR
  An hour represented as a Zeitgeist timestamp (ie. 3600000ms)
- public const int64 DAY
  A day represented as a Zeitgeist timestamp (ie. 86400000ms)
- public const int64 WEEK
  A week represented as a Zeitgeist timestamp (ie. 604800000ms)
- public const int64 YEAR
  A year represented as a Zeitgeist timestamp (ie. 31556952000ms). Be warned that a year is not 365 days, but in fact 365.2425 days, to account for leap years.

### Methods:

- public int64 from_timeval (TimeVal timeval)
  Convert a GLib.TimeVal to an amount of milliseconds since the Unix Epoch
- public TimeVal to_timeval (int64 timestamp)
  Write a Zeitgeist timestamp to a GLib.TimeVal instance. Note that Zeitgeist uses only a millisecond resolution, whereas GLib.TimeVal has microsecond resolution. This means that the lower three digits of @tv.tv_usec will always be 0.
- public int64 from_now ()
  Return the current timestamp in milliseconds.
- public int64 from_iso8601 (string datetime)
  Parse a timestamp from an ISO8601-encoded string.
- public string to_iso8601 (int64 timestamp)
  Convert a timestamp to a human-readable ISO8601 format
- public int64 from_date (Date date)
  Convert a GDate to a Zeitgeist timestamp
- public int64 from_dmy (DateDay day, DateMonth month, DateYear year)
  Convert a day, month, year tuple into a Zeitgeist timestamp
- public Date to_date (int64 timestamp)
  Write a timestamp to a GLib.Date structure
- public int64 next_midnight (int64 timestamp)
  Calculate the timestamp for the next midnight after the given timestamp.
- public int64 prev_midnight (int64 timestamp)
  Calculate the timestamp for the midnight just before the given timestamp.

- Utils - Utility functions. FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY

- public bool parse_negation (ref string val)
  Check if the value starts with the negation operator. If it does, remove the operator from the value and return true. Otherwise, return false.
- public bool parse_noexpand (ref string val)
  Check if the value starts with the noexpand operator. If it does, remove the operator from the value and return true. Otherwise, return false.
- public bool parse_wildcard (ref string val)
  Check if the value ends with the wildcard character. If it does, remove the wildcard character from the value and return true. Otherwise, return false.
- public bool is_empty_string (string? s)
  Return true if a string is empty (null or containing just a null byte).
- public bool log_may_read_directly ()
