--- Comment #1 from Jonathan M Davis <jmdavisProg at gmx.com> ---
Sorry, but it was decided some time ago, that nothing in std.datetime which
deals with English would be made public, because that opens the question of
internationalization, and std.datetime is not the place for that. In addition,
IMHO, it was a mistake to include any of the functionality in std.datetime
which involves the names of months in strings (in particular toSimpleString and
fromSimpleString). It's an unnecessary and not particularly useful
complication, and it results in questions about internationlization. So, we're
not about to expose any of the functions that deal with English. If you see any
functionality in there that you want that is not public, feel free to copy it
into your own codebase. It's boost licensed, whose only restriction is that the
code is supposed to retain the copyright. And for something this small and
simple, I don't even care if you do that, and I wrote the code.
