I would vote for adding it to AppleScript as an official part of the date
and time stuff.

Might I suggest that strptime/strftime-style commands for converting dates to strings and vice-versa according to a user-supplied format string would be a more useful request?


As for date handling in general, the real problem is the standard typeLongDateTime type used to pass date info between AppleScript and scriptable applications. It's long past time this was deprecated in favour of a timezone-aware date/time type.
