That one should be doable.
Possibility 1: we add a time part to our date and keep track of it in
day counters.
Possibility 2: we change the internals of our date so that it contains
a Boost date, we check that it works as before, then we also expose
the time part (and keep track of it in day counters). At a later date
(ha ha) we gut our date and keep Boost. Question: is Boost.Date
header-only or do we need to link a library?
