The JavaDoc for Calendar.getInstance() simply says "Gets a calendar using the
default time zone and locale." Although the Calendar that is returned is always
set to the current date/time, this is not specified. This implies that you need
to set it to the current time via setTime(), which is extra unnecessary work,
and forces you to create an extra Date object. The JavaDoc should specify that
the returned Calendar is for the current date/time (like the constructor for
GregorianCalendar does).
