Hmm. ZCatalog provides a DateIndex, is this what you mean?
Googling for DateTimeIndex & zope turns up exactly two results, in 
German which I can't read. (the google-supplied translations are
pretty much gibberish.)

Hmmm again: I notice that out-of-the-box, CMF Default's portal_catalog
uses the following:

Date		FieldIndex
created		FieldIndex
effective	FieldIndex
expires		FieldIndex
modified	FieldIndex

Why are these FieldIndex rather than DateTime index?
