Rebuilding Boost Date-Time for C++11
summary
Rebuilds Boost.Date_Time around C++11/14 features aiming for a smaller faster v2 that can be proposed for the standard — default-constructed dates become epoch not not-a-date-time, optional covers missing values, many conversions are implemented as templated constructors (tm, chrono system_clock, tuple, strings, calculated rules), code uses noexcept fast path, move/defaulted special members, member initialization and constexpr (C++11 limited, C++14 better), IO remains a performance pain, work is preliminary and hosted on GitHub.
