Don't get me started on this ;-)
The default constructor can be private. Objects constructed this way will be always filled with previously serialized data - no 'empty date' will ever exist.
Good point. I'm going to relent and make a date have public constructor anyway, since users have been asking me to do it. But there are other things in date_time, like the date_generators, that I will be implementing serialization for and they have no reasonable default constructor. Jeff
