Hi, Natural date parsing is a really exciting feature. It would be interesting to play with it. However, one major issue I see with this feature is localization. Do this library support several locales?
I think localization-aware natural date parsing is a not an easy feature. It could be worth including it in GTG dependancies, then (at least if the package is well maintained).
