UTCDate vs NSDate

[Hout]

SwiftDate contains an NSDate object named UTCDate. The former is the Cocoa class for absolute time. IMHO the UTC naming creates confusion as UTC is not absolute time but a representation of it. The fact that NSDate is internally represented in seconds from 1-Jan-2001 00:00 UTC stands apart from the reasoning above.

I suggest naming the object absoluteTime or even nsDate.

I agree, it's a necessary step to make the lib less confusing
