Hi all,
I’d like to propose support for infinite dates, datetimes and timedeltas.
Some languages (R comes to mind, if I recall correctly) also support a "Not A Date" special value. Boost includes a not-a-date-time value: https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_56_0/doc/html/date_time/doxy.html#header.bo... If you've ever seen a database use 9-9-99 to mean an invalid or non-existent date, you'll probably appreciate having a Not-A-Datetime value :-) -- Steven
