I'd like an endpoint for loading time info for a given list of time IDs. Similar to /time/placement except it returns the data that /times does.

One use case I have is that I'd like to implement a hub for replays where you can sort by most viewed/liked (I just added a way to track how many times a replay/time is viewed and I will add likes soon probably).

Because these are all time IDs, in order to display them in a meaningful way, I need to actually load the information about them. Currently there isn't a good way to do that with the public API. I know that I could cache the replay/time info myself, but this seems like a good use case for the public API and I imagine that loading times by ID should be a fast operation.
