Couldn't reproduce this with whatever ruby there is in the Ubuntu 
repositories, latest rubygems, and whatever "gem in -y facets" gets me.

The Facets module does indeed seem to exist, however, my hopes shatter right 
after that. Time doesn't have a #use class method, in fact, there is no such 
method in the API documentation.

The deprecated method in the documentation doesn't help any either.

How -do- you use this library then?

The website is also in slight need of spellchecking, I wonder if this would be 
proper to report via the project bug tracker.
