For instances on UTCTime - isn't UTCTime more 'canoncial' than
data-binary etc. by virtue of it being in the Hierarchical Libraries?
Thus data-binary "should" provide an instance of Binary for UTCTime -
rather than Time provide a Binary instance.
Also, aside from cases where automatic newtype deriving would
otherwise work is it, really so unpleasant to have a long-handed
getUTCTime rather than an overloaded get?
