Find attached a patch which implements several changes to the Temporal and Date libraries. - Temporal and Date now use a role called DateLike which contains common methods. - Temporal now uses validation on specified values to ensure you can't tell it that it's 2010-15-38 or something silly like that. - The 'time-zone' attribute of the DateTime class has been renamed to 'timezone' to match the spec. - The parse() method of DateTime has been renamed to new() to match the spec (now that it works.) And a rather significant change: - The DateTime::strftime method has been extracted out of the Temporal.pm and put into a loadable module. The module currently uses runtime role composition to work due to a bug (already submitted) preventing it from augmenting the DateTime class (if that's even the approach we want to take.) There are updated tests for the new functionality, that I will commit to the spec test once this patch has been applied.
