[suggestions] 1. Named parameters in the interface
One tiny observaton. The suggestion of named parameters for the interface could well be applied to many if not most if not all libraries. Could this not be considered as a separate orthogonal layer to the current interface? This would a) make the named parameter interface available where convenient b) make it optional rather than obligatory c) set the precedent for other libraries which might benefit from a named parameter interface - without the need to re-do any of the library itself. Perhaps there could even be a convention such as boost/named_parameters/date_time.hpp ... or perhaps boost/date_time/named_parameters.hpp Robert Ramey
