Since the format of a datetime is:
  {year, month, date, hour, minute, second}
...it already works with the built-in compare, so datetime_compare() is
redundant.  If it didn't, an alternative solution would be to either
make it so, or to call it something other than compare.  Better to change
one exception than an encumber an entire library.
