	* '''Current time''': Functions to get the current Unix timestamp (now)
	* '''Date parsing''': Functions to parse date strings into Unix timestamps (parse_date)

	~~These functions provide essential tools for working with dates and timestamps in SCM programs, enabling time-based operations~~ and date ~~string processing~~.		The '''Date''' module handles SQL temporal values and Scheme date computations. It includes:

	~~← Back~~ to ~~[[Full SCM API documentation]]~~		* current date and time values;
			* parsing and MySQL-compatible formatting;
			* field extraction and truncation;
			* interval addition and subtraction;
			* differences between dates or timestamps;
			* compiler-aware conversion to the declared SQL temporal output type.

			Timezone conversion and UTC/session-zone helpers are documented separately under [[Timezone]].
