At which point I wonder, why can't we be symmetrical and allow a function like:

make_date(2013, 2, 27); You could have these, instead, for more consistency:

make_date(2013, 45); make_date(2013, w7, fri); The later overload is Ok. The following is ambiguous

make_date(2013, 45);

and need

make_date(year(2013), 45); Right

...

BTW, do you prefer w7 or w_7? Or a literal 7_w instead of a constant object? I'd prefer at least "wk" if not "week" in the name. I don't think an underscore is nice there, and I don't like the literal ordering. Therefore, I'd like to see week7 or wk7.

Weeks? According to what way of counting weeks? Monday-weeks (Europe, ISO 8601), Saturday-weeks (Middle East), or Sunday-weeks (Canada, US, Mexico)? If boost should adhere to ISO 8601, which I think it should, why not go all in and mandate ordering of YMD as well? Regards, Anders Dalvander
