Thanks for you answer, **Hlaaftana**. The question is more wide that just using the assignment in the function I mentioned in my previous post. Even if I could try to use `initDateTime` in this function (if it works) - I have some other places when I use the assignments to modify the fields of `DateTime` now passed to `private`. So, I would like to understand how should I proceed to access to the fields if one day the deprecated functions will be out of `times` module.
BTW, your advise about adding the field and not inherit from `DateTime` is absolutely impossible to use in my case - I have several types with such inheritance, very many things must be changed there.
