What does Walter have to do with anything here?
It was always my understanding that Walter is the man in charge of D
development.
He's not implementing any
date/time stuff, and he's not all that involved with Phobos development in
general. I'm likely the one to be implementing the custom date/time
formatting, and the current plan is to do something similar to strftime, since
that scheme seems to be fairly standard across several languages.
What are these "several languages"?
C has it. Thus C++ and D get access to it. PHP has what is just a wrapper around the C
library function, which would appear to be there in order to help with porting C code.
And what is the aim - to copy some existing scheme, or to have a scheme that is useful,
intuitive, extensible, etc.?
