Q: 

output date or datetime variable as a Unix timestamp in FreeMarker

Is it possible to output a date or datetime variable as a Unix timestamp in FreeMarker?

I stumbled upon this page saying that it is possible to do it in Java by implementing TemplateMethodModelEx, but I am looking for an easier way.

Does anyone know of a way to do it completely within FreeMarker(FTL)?
