your changes to std.date because it infringes on Tango's license.

Andrei

What did I infringe the license of Tango for? For interfaces? For
implements?
I've written the codes without the intention. Please tell me the points
that are the problem.

I don't know other details except that a Tango representative explicitly
warned us about the potential infringement yesterday. You may want to
check with the Tango team. I am sorry for the disappointment this must
entail to you.

The current direction considered for std.date is to take the design of
Boost.Date_Time as a starting point.

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/doc/html/date_time.html

I wonder how hard it would be to do a simple transliteration of boost.date_time into D as a first step? Might it expedite development if we could take not just the design, but the actual working code, as a basis?

The optimistic newbie in me imagines that such a transliteration wouldn't be too difficult, since so many C++ idioms map directly into D.
