the class gregorian::greg_year in the date_time library is missing a method implemented in greg_day and greg_month.

the method is:

unsigned short as_number() const {return value_;}

i checked cvs, on 12/6/04, to confirm this is still an issue. http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/boost/boost/boost/date_time/gregorian/greg_year.hpp?rev=1.4&view=auto

we have been very impressed with this library and wanted to report this minor inconsistency as a small, small way to say thanks.

greg_year shouldn't need an as_number function. It's a constrained unsigned short with a min of 1400 & a max of 10000. The as_number function was added to greg_month and greg_day to ease math operations. Since greg_year is a constrained value math simply "works", as does operator<<. Is there a specific reason why you'd like one added to greg_year? Thx, Bart
