Hi,
Thanks for the code.
Taking a look at this, I don't believe that it forms a core part of
what Joda-Time itself is trying to achieve - a better datetime library
for Java. It would certainly fit in the contrib area if you were
willing to code it up with tests, website and release. Or you might
find that someone else on the list is interested too :-)
