RPC wizards: How would you get the timestamp of a block (or series of blocks), given the block index(es)?

The Bitcoin network protocol was designed to be extremely flexible. It can be used to create timed transactions, escrow transactions, multi-signature transactions, etc. The current features of the client only hint at what will be possible in the future.

The protocol allows you to call blockchain.block.header(height, cp_height=0) with a block height (index) and get the 80 byte header as bytes. The 4 bytes from 68 to 72 are the block's timestamp in little endian order.
