Hey Stephen,
I decided to chill on this for about 4 years and check again. I notice that
Joda does have YearMonth and MonthDay now <evil grin>. Did any interest
ever develop in our LocalTimeOfWeek? It would be nice for us to get it off
our list of local custom extensions. Within Google, everyone knows about
Joda-Time but doesn't actually know about our LocalTimeOfWeek class and so
as we scour the codebase we find it reimplemented several times, usually
badly.
It's yours if you want it.... we also have a cyclic TimeOfWeekInterval.
