DateTime needs it's own to_time method
Reported by Mark Percival | July 24th, 2008 @ 03:59 PM
Currently if you use the Merb Helpers to grab DateTime objects and display them, you'll get some incorrect behavior.
Because DateTime inherits from Date, and merb_helpers adds the to_time method to Date, "my_dm_datetime.to_time" results in a time that ignores the hours and minutes and gets set automatically to midnight. This could be fixed by adding a to_time method to the DateTime object that returns the accurate time.
I've attached a file below that will demonstrate the problem and a proposed solution. There certainly could be a better way to do this, but this is the quick solution I'm using in my app.

- State changed from “new” to “invalid”
Since this is done in merb_helpers (http://github.com/wycats/merb-pl...), please suggest this change on merb's lighthouse.
