Describe the problem

There's a lot of boilerplate required to make a $state that always refers to the current date.

Describe the proposed solution

It would be cool to be able to do this:

import { SvelteDate } from 'svelte/reactivity';

const time = $derived(
  new Date(SvelteDate.now()).toLocaleTimeString()
);
