Allow fractions of a second?

Is it possible to do this:

DateTime(2013,7,1,12,30,59.1)

i.e. to provide seconds as a float?

I think you can only do this at the moment:

DateTime(2013,7,1,12,30,59,1)

to give

2013-07-01T12:30:59.001

(I'm still using v0.3...)

Hmmm, interesting idea. Technically, I think we could do it without colliding with other method definitions.

Cool! I think it's quite common for astronomical routines to return 6 items e.g.:

julia> next_new_moon = moon_phase(cal_to_jd(2014,10,14)) |> jd_to_date
(2014,10,23,21,57,33.488731384277344)

Of course it would be possible to return 7 items rather than 6, but 6 seems quite common in similar applications.
