Agreed.

srfi/19 also has some serious flaws, which I have no time at the
moment to delve into.
The one merit it has, is that being an srfi is meant to be a portable
specification.

I suggest to disregard srfi/19 as a source of inspiration.

You may want to look instead at (the time related parts of) SOFA
(www.iausofa.org).

For my needs, I'm working at an FFI interface to SOFA, which I'll
release on planet when ready.
