  I remember vaguely I had a similar requirements from some customer some months ago,
and tried to solve it with a custom field. In th end this has been a nearly full
copy & paste from the DateTimeField and its companion classes.

  Well, normally I would not like to apply patches to add features to the DateTimeField,
as its complicated enough anyway, but in this case I feel myself the need for the feature
and have learnt that trying to get the issue via an extension has led to rather
undesireable results, so I am in favor to apply the patch.

  What do others think? Any pros or cons, or maybe ideas to achieve the issue differently ?
