        [INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE] - Datetime object support now via
        ->epoch method instead of ->strftime.

          Despite the fact that this is an incompatible change, it
          should actually be a nonevent for almost all users, because
          every datetime module I could find that supports ->strftime
          also supports ->epoch (and vice versa).

          However, the ->strftime methods of many modules are (subtly
          or badly) broken in the face of timezones even as their
          ->epoch methods work right (or else are broken subtly
          enough to escape notice).

          But if you have written your own datetime class, and it
          has a ->strftime method but not an ->epoch method, and
          you pass instance of that class to instance of this module,
          then the feeds you generate that way will now be broken.

          On balance, I believe that this change will unbreak vastly
          more code than it breaks. Therefore I decided to switch.
