Ok, so I read Chris’ e-mail and I’m intrigued. Sven, you’re still right about financial months being 30 days for instance but the thing is that the current implementation seems broken (or inconsisten at least) and doesn’t honor that case either. *Not* making the change will not help us either…
So I’d say: let’s do it. If somebody objects (or proposes a change) then we can handle that but at least we can claim that we try to give the users what we preach, like writing natural language like code (e.g. “x + 1 month” which is currently not possible). That’s my view at least. Also: we’re changing so much stuff in Pharo anyway all the time, I don’t think this would hurt.
