[Haskell-cafe] time of day

'time' is the generally accepted package which exports the Data.Time you
mentioned. 'DateTime' looks to use 'time' to provide an aledgedly simpler
API. 'old-time' should go away eventually and thus you should not use it for
new projects.

You likely want 'getCurrentTime' [1].
