shellutils; No way to input a date in time_t format |

Package: shellutils
Version: 2.0.11-1
Severity: wishlist
As a programmer, I often encounter dates in the time_t format
(e.g. 983370715), and I'd like the 'date' command to understand them
and to display them in a more readable way. Unfortunately, GNU date
seems to provide no way (no documented way, at least) to use that
format as input.
Someone suggested a trick to me, but I guess you'll agree it's ugly:
$ date -d 'Jan 1 1970 00:00:983370715 GMT'
So, I hereby express a wish for a new input format for 'date'.
