I've given in to user demand -- the default constructor to not_a_date_time will be in the 1.32 -- gregorian::date same story.

Why was that the right choice? It seems like an opportunity for bugs.

Not having a default constructor for for dates at all.

I've never used dates (and I don't play one on TV) but is there a reason to put dates into a container? Doesn't this (usually) require having a default constructor? ...Duane
