        Which bug? Did I talk to any bug? :-S If I did so I didn't mean
it, I just wanted to ask a doubt...

        I guess I didn't understand the "unfinished concept" or your
answer... In other words... even if there are unfinished members
on a class, and consecuently the class is marked as unfinished,
is still the class usable? (I thought I couldn't...)

        So, should I use a string specify for myself (such as
"dd/MM/yyyy H:mm*:ss*") for the format?
