I just read the swiki page for this Chronology package and I think it looks
very good!
Those interested in including temporal objects in their domain should be aware
of another, alternative, package that focuses on simplicity and ease-of-use.
It's not ANSI "standard", but does use an ultra-friendly protocol, is storage
efficient, precise to the millisecond and solid as a rock. It also has
complete interoperability between durations and date-times (which I call
"CalendarTime"). For example:
myCalendarTime + 3 days
myCalendarTime - 3 hours
myCalendarTime roundTo: 30 minutes
(1 hour + 33 minutes) truncateTo: 30 minutes
Time-zones will be added someday.

Choices are a good thing.
