Another thing I miss in the kernel is date processing.  No time zone stuff or 
anything which can give you a string when given the number of microseconds 
since 1970.  Makes it hard to display dates in my file system (auto-generated 
symbolic links (link name is the date, target is the file with that date) when 
an index of dates is viewed as a directory).
