Nothing except the ability to say $c->datetime or $c->dt.  In fact,  
this is the entirety of the code of the module....

sub datetime {
         my $c = shift;
         my %params = @_;
         my $tz = delete $params{time_zone} || 'local';

         # use params if argued
         if (%params) {
                 return DateTime->new(\%params)->set_time_zone($tz);
         }
         else { # otherwise use now
                 return DateTime->now(time_zone => $tz);
         }
}

# alias $c->dt
*dt = \&datetime;
