Recall that std.date used the following to retrieve a month in integer form (0 .. 11):

  auto Now = std.date.getUTCtime();
  writeln(std.date.monthFromTime(Now));

Using std.datetime, the following yields the abbreviated month name:

  auto Now = Clock.currTime();
  writefln("%s", Now.month);    // --> jul

Now, how can std.datetime be used to print the month in integer form?

Cast it to an integer (or use std.conv.to will probably work - it _should_ at least; if it doesn't, it needs to be fixed). std.datetime.Month is a named enum. So, presumably that's why you're seeing it as a the enum's name. I think that that's only happening because you're using it directly in writefln though. If you assigned it to a variable first, I think that it would just be a ubyte, since that's the type of the Month enum).
