Examples:
Get the current time from the system clock.
import std.datetime.systime : SysTime, Clock;

SysTime currentTime = Clock.currTime();
Examples:
Construct a specific point in time without timezone information and get its ISO string.
import std.datetime.date : DateTime;

auto dt = DateTime(2018, 1, 1, 12, 30, 10);
writeln(dt.toISOString()); // "20180101T123010"
writeln(dt.toISOExtString()); // "2018-01-01T12:30:10"
Examples:
Construct a specific point in time in the UTC timezone and add two days.
import std.datetime.systime : SysTime;
import std.datetime.timezone : UTC;
import core.time : days;

auto st = SysTime(DateTime(2018, 1, 1, 12, 30, 10), UTC());
writeln(st.toISOExtString()); // "2018-01-01T12:30:10Z"
st += 2.days;
writeln(st.toISOExtString()); // "2018-01-03T12:30:10Z"
