surely whether you wish to store a date-time in a container or use it in some other piece of generic code isn't the point. if the default constructor is in-expensive and congruent with the intentions of the library then why not provide the facility so that it can be standardized within the library? jonathan.

I've never used dates (and I don't play one on TV) but is there a reason to put dates into a container?
Yes, many reasons.
Doesn't this (usually) require having a default constructor?
Nope. You can search the developer list archives for more details -- it has been discussed there.
