I have added a second return value to TimeCowan's current-posix-seconds which is 0 if this is definitely not a leap second, 1 if it is definitely a leap second, and #f if the implementation doesn't know. Does that make you sufficiently happy? This is absurd. Programs dealing with timing shouldn't have calendars thrust at them. Give them clocks, not calendars. Count the number of SI seconds since the UTC epoch. Calendars, requiring such context as time zones for local civil time and solar observations for leap seconds in UTC and lunar observations for the Islamic calendar and so on, are useful -- for applications that process calendars. Make the calendars aware of leap seconds, not the clock. _______________________________________________ Scheme-reports mailing list [email protected] http://lists.scheme-reports.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/scheme-reports
