Date and time

Is there any chance a way to request the date and time from the server could be added?  This would be useful as a way to make sure all players are using the same date and time (avoiding time zone issues) and are not changing the time on their local computers.  Specifically, I want it because I'm working on something that will involve large scale collaboration between many players, but I imagine being able to fetch the date and time would also be useful in other projects.  For example, in a game with asynchronous play, it could be used to make players who don't move in X days automatically lose.

I think this is a good idea. I was thinking recently it would be useful too.

Beeing able to fetch date and time would be really usefull if you don't have your own server.

This is a very good idea as games using Date and Time can currently be easily cheated simply by changing the local computer's date/time information.
