Message: [QUOTE="Jeremy Evans, post: 4670160"] I suppose it's possible, but it would greatly increase the complexity. There's quite a few cases you'd have to handle, off the top of my head, at least: 1) Differences of less than a nanosecond 2) Ranges beyond those supported (more than 5 million years in the future or past) 3) Offsets with fractional minutes I wrote home_run so that it would cover all cases for 99% of rubyists. For the 1% of rubyists that need features that the current stdlib has and that home_run has not, they could still use the old stdlib version (which could be moved elsewhere in the standard lib, or made a gem), or Tadayoshi Funaba's date2 or date4 libraries ([URL]http://www.funaba.org/en/ruby.html[/URL]).
