There are just so many ways.
We need to choose one of the overloaded operators.
Again, maybe I missed some earlier requirement, but I don't see the need. Don't get me wrong. Overloading is wonderful. But in this case, I don't see the point.
Allowing such formats in code just adds to confusion, IMHO. Why are you confused. Even if I don't use to use May/11/2013 but 11/May/2013 I don't see how
auto dt = may/11/year(2013);
could confuse someone. What could this mean other than the declaration of a date. Maybe "confuse" is too strong. But it does not help readability, if dates can be written in different styles (except for the author at that moment).
