Jonathan M Davis <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED CC| |[email protected] Resolution|--- |WONTFIX --- Comment #1 from Jonathan M Davis <[email protected]> --- Sorry, but it was decided some time ago, that nothing in std.datetime which deals with English would be made public, because that opens the question of internationalization, and std.datetime is not the place for that. In addition, IMHO, it was a mistake to include any of the functionality in std.datetime which involves the names of months in strings (in particular toSimpleString and fromSimpleString). It's an unnecessary and not particularly useful complication, and it results in questions about internationlization. So, we're not about to expose any of the functions that deal with English. If you see any functionality in there that you want that is not public, feel free to copy it into your own codebase. It's boost licensed, whose only restriction is that the code is supposed to retain the copyright. And for something this small and simple, I don't even care if you do that, and I wrote the code. --
