However, this would possibly break compatibility with prior asc() and ord()=
=20
builtin function implementations. Sounds like a good idea if a compatible=20
solution can be made, though.

I'll add this to my TODO-list, since it can be done without breaking=20
compatibility...

The bifunc to render time to a string for non-default timezones would be ni=
ce,=20
but I think it'd make more sense to just move ctime-style functions within=
=20
the core. The current CVS of GammaMOO will allow undefined builtin function=
s=20
to be used within verbs, so ftime could probably be implemented in-core als=
o.
The additional number bifuncs might be useful, so I might include them into=
=20
GammaMOO.
Without looking into too much details, your ftime bifunc appears to do the=
=20
same as us_time.
The German(?) support seems too much of a hack to make sense... If=20
multilanguage support is added, it should probably be based on a setting an=
d=20
not allow mixing of languages quite so much. I think it is also using ASCII=
,=20
while GammaMOO uses UTF-8 to store strings, but I doubt that'd be much=20
trouble to convert...
