It's not *that* slowly -- this started less than a week ago <wink>. But,
yes, Guido's basic class is heading more in the direction of what mxDateTime
started as. By the time you had need of documenting things like
Adding/Subtracting DateTime instances causes the result to
inherit the calendar of the left operand.
I think "naive time" got lost in the options. Guido has in mind a pure
"proleptic Gregorian" gimmick. We'll see how long that lasts ...
