Cannot use datetime or regex as a type annotation

[Chriscbr]

I tried this:

let hello_world = inflight (x: datetime) => {
  log(x.toIso());
};

let y: datetime = datetime.utcNow();

This happened:

A compilation error

error: Unknown symbol "datetime"
  --> wing/main.w:1:32
  |
1 | let hello_world = inflight (x: datetime) => {
  |                                ^^^^^^^^ Unknown symbol "datetime"


error: Unknown symbol "datetime"
  --> wing/main.w:5:8
  |
5 | let y: datetime = datetime.utcNow();
  |        ^^^^^^^^ Unknown symbol "datetime"

I expected this:

No error

Is there a workaround?

use std.Datetime or std.Regex

Anything else?
