AFR-640 Add datetime.datetime and datetime.timedelta to aliasing context,

[taine-bot]

Feature Request: Add datetime.datetime and datetime.timedelta to aliasing context,
Who would use it? Anyone who is making aliasing involving time (downtime, cooldowns, etc)
What part of the bot? Aliasing
How would it work? Exposing the datetime and timedelta classes could use their functionality like datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(days=1) to fetch one day from now
Why should this be added? It would make working with time much easier and would allow us to avoid using complex calculations to get the date based off the current time()

(Commenting on this before it gets stale'd)
I'd still like to see this added, but I do realize that it is a big security concern.

timedelta - This class contains limits on how many days/seconds can be used, see https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.timedelta.min and https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.timedelta.max

datetime.datetime - Also has similar limits (https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.min, https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.max)

Not mentioned in the original FR but also datetime.now() / datetime.utcnow() for storing dates easier.
