I like the idea of having more specific exceptions to avoid having to parse generic exception/warning strings. However, I voted No because there doesn't seem to be an implementation currently, and I'm concerned about introducing differences in error handling between the procedural and object-oriented date functions. Is there a rational for why the procedural date functions should continue producing generic warnings/exceptions, rather than consistently using the same exception hierarchy as the OO interface? I fear this could make it harder for users to switch between the procedural and OO APIs, as some errors might have to be handled in a different way. Also, could maintaining parity between the procedural/OO APIs be more difficult if they each implement error handling differently? Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I thought that currently the procedural date functions are simple aliases of the corresponding object method. Best regards, Theodore
