gnome.utilities.inf_datetime

special datetime objects with -inf and inf times

These are not real datetime objects – simply something that can be compared with one

Note: this is very liberal with comparisons – essentially an infinity time object is greater than anything, so no checking to see what you are comparing to..

Also special constructor for a real datetime that won’t allow values out of range for this application
