I'm confused by your position. If it's 7am on the clock behind me, right now, then how (under the model proposed by the PEP) do I find the datetime value where it will next be 7am on the clock?
PEP-431 does not propose to implement calendar operations, and hence does not address that question.
To me, Paul's example is a datetime operation: you start with a datetime (7am today), perform arithmetic on it by adding a period of time (one day), and get a datetime as the result (7am tomorrow).
To my naive mind, I would have thought of calendar operations to be things like:
- print a calendar; - add or remove an appointment; - send, accept or decline an invitation
What do you think calendar operations are, and how do they differ from datetime operations? And most importantly, how can we tell them apart?
Thanks,
