Other methods.

The following methods are defined in Date, but declared private there. They are made public in DateTime. They are documented here.

hour()

min()

Get the minute-of-the-hour of the time.

Get the fraction of a second of the time. This is returned as a Rational. The unit is in days. I do NOT recommend you to use this method.
