[#223] Convenience parsing of dates and times.

Summary: Convenience parsing of dates and times.
Detailed description Hello. I've noticed the parsers in the Printer module. However, I believe it would be a great idea to provide a Printer.Convenience module, or better, a Parser.Convenience module, which would, given a defined language (english only would be OK) parse dates given in usual formats. This would be quite helpful. Dealing with the real world is all bytes and strings, and such a Parser.Convenience module would ease the pain and make Calendar much more fun to use. Guillaume.

Followup Message Date: 2009-06-29 12:08 Sender: Julien Signoles Hello Guillaume, I already planned to write a new module 'Parser' from the existing parsers in the Printer module (see here: https://forge.ocamlcore.org/pm/task.php?func=detailtask&project_task_id=204&group_id=83&group_project_id=161). However what would be the exact features of your suggested 'Convenience' module? What more comparing to the existing Printer.*.from_fstring (combining with the internationalization possibilities)? http://calendar.forge.ocamlcore.org/doc/Printer.S.html#VALfrom_fstring http://calendar.forge.ocamlcore.org/doc/Printer.html#2_Internationalization -- Julien
