FWIW, I have used boost date_time in the past, but I didn't really like it. Particularly the part where every unit is its own type (dunno, that may have changed, it was several years ago that I used it). If we could try to combine these types together, I think it would be beneficial.
I haven't looked at that Boost package, but the idea behind that is if month and year have different types, bugs where a year value is mistaken for a month can be headed off at compile time. There's some modern thought that this is a good style for programming. We'll see how it pans out.
