Are you serious? Since the invention of structural programming,
creating a separate module for distinct functionality has been one of
the most powerful design techniques.  If I recall correctly, most of
the original GoF patterns were about separating functionality into a
separate module or a separate class.  The calendar module is indeed a
historical odd-ball, but what is wrong with time and datetime?
