Right now, we are discussing what should be in the image by default.
The current system is not bad at all, it just has deficiencies that could be improved upon.
An alternative would be to implement a "Calendar" (as in Java.util.Calendar [1]), that can exist in parallel with the existing Date class.
I am not so sure that is a good example.
First time I new about Calendar I found it awkward (starting with the name). Years later I understood its purpose in comparison with a "point in time" Date or Timestamp. The name and implementation are TBD, but what I'm trying to exemplify is a particular case in a popular language. Regards!
