See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rata_Die Your answer made it clear to me that people are not going to like the daycount (or day-count) accessor. I consciously did not specify an epoch on which daycount was based because I didn't want to force the implemntor's hand more than absolutely necessary. Since number-of-days-relative-to-a-fixed-epoch is still available trivially as $date - $start-of-epoch I've now removed the daycount related methods. Cheers, MoritzThread Previous | Thread Next
