I'd just like to point out that the current Temporal spec only does methods with underscores, including C<day_of_week>. This goes against my personal preferences; I greatly prefer dashes in almost all of the code I write. But I acknowledge that most of the programmers out there seem to expect underscores -- and also, the aim was to produce a small delta from CPAN's DateTime and not change around things ad lib. // Carl
