Subject: [boost] [chrono/date] Unit specifiers arithmetic

Hi,
Moving from checked dates to unchecked ones by default and forcing to
user the Unit specifiers year/month/day in any date constructor (even
the unchecked ones) has some ugly consequences. Note that I was able to
build an unchecked date as
date d(2013,5,6, no_check);
Given
year y;
month m;
day d;
the following will not compile now as the constructors expects a year
but y+1 is an int.
date d(y+1, m, d);
The user needs to type
date d(year(y+1), m, d);
Is this what we want to provide to the user or should we add basic
arithmetic on these unit specifiers?
Best,
Vicente
