Tiny both in cost and value...
'seconds' as a time format uses the unix standard, seconds since 1/1/1970,
rather than the (old) mac standard, seconds since 1/1/1904. Perfectly
reasonable; but some of us have to deal with quantities of binary data
encoding timestamps in the latter format. Especially now that there's the
excellent "convert <time> from <format> to <format>" option, it would be
handy to have "macSeconds" as one of the available format types.
Yes, I know it's just a matter of adding or subtracting 2082844800. But it
would be a handy convenience all the same.
