+//UnixTimeReadonly is a helper type that provides type-safe access to a Swift
+//header whose value is a UNIX timestamp. It cannot be directly constructed,
+//but some subtypes of schwift.Headers have fields of this type. For example:
+//
+//    var hdr AccountHeaders
+//    //hdr.Timestamp is a headers.UnixTimeReadonly instance
+//    hdr.Timestamp.Get()    //returns a time.Time
+//    hdr.Get("X-Timestamp") //returns a string containing a UNIX timestamp
+//                           //refering to the same point in time
+type UnixTimeReadonly struct {
+	Base
+}
+
+//Exists checks whether there is a value for this header.
+func (f UnixTimeReadonly) Exists() bool {
