Re: [Quantlib-dev] Period class... some minor updates...

[Ferdinando A. <na...@am...>]

Hi Toyin

it hasn't been discussed yet, but I'm actually in favor of deprecating
(and then removing) Frequency adopting instead a more pervasive usage
of Period. Frequency has been in QuantLib before Period, but nowadays
I cannot see any good reason for retaing it, as it is less flexible
than Period. The only plus might be the "Once" Frequency which doesn't
have a clear equivalent Period.

There is already ongoing work in QuantLib to allow Period as
alternative to Frequency.

As for your specific proposal: once we introduce EveryFifthWeek and
EverySixthWeek, why not introduce EverySeventhWeek, etc?
This is one of the reason I prefer Period which doesn't have this problem...

look forward to feedback

ciao -- Nando
