What is the problem this feature would solve?

hello, since we already have a DateTime.toEpochMillis that get us the timestamp of a date, could we have something to get the Unix timestamp of a date ? so in seconds ?

I surely have missed something but its painful to do thing like below whenever i need an unix timestamp :(

const reservationEventTtlUnix = Math.round(
   DateTime.toEpochMillis(yield* DateTime.now) / 1000,
)

i don't know maybe something like DateTime.toEpochSeconds

What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?

DateTime.toEpochSeconds(DateTime) maybe ?

What alternatives have you considered?
