Seven lone Time methods

[Trans]

Time is a core class of Ruby's. So why do we have to

require 'time'

in order to gain these seven methods?

httpdate, iso8601, parse, rfc2822, rfc822, xmlschema, zone_offset

What aren't they already there? (especailly #parse)

Thanks,
T.

I guess they are easier in ruby than C.

Fair enough, but is there no way to make these available by default,
just the same way that Time is?

actually I'd like to have #parse as builtin, but whay would we need
xmlschema or httpdate time extension built-in ?
They make more sense in an extension to me since..

PS
mh well, we could make xml and http libs parte of the core maybe...

matz against that a builtin method which name contains RFC number.

One idea I have is extending autoload.
