Writing test cases is always a good idea :-)
I have now written a first set of test cases:
https://git.hjp.at:3000/hjp/timedeltacal
(together with a quick and dirty implementation that passes them).
That's not complete yet.
If covers addition of timezone aware datetime values and timedeltacal
values fairly well, and also tests the t0 + (t1 - t0) == t1 property I
alluded to elsewhere in this thread.
It doesn't test canonicalization yet (and indeed the prototype
implementation is a mess in this regard) and subtracting timedeltacals
from datetimes is also still missing.
