Is this being considered for field types, serial types, or both?
The reason I ask is that all serial values are valid dates, at least those in range, and we can make the range as big as we want. It is only the field types that are problematic when day, month, or week is out of range.
Howard The problem with this function is that it can give us a false sense of security. If we ask it to make an unchecked date "31-feb-2013", it would gladly do it for us. With field representation, we can catch it. But with serial representation, it would make a valid but wrong date! I don't think a valid date that the user didn't ask for is really a valid date, is it?
Good point Anarag. Vicente
