In a sense, in that it supports my initial approach.
As Stefan Ram pointed out, there is nothing wrong with the solution I have: simply using
if statements around the calculated lateness of t1 and t2 to increment the appropriate
counters. I was just thinking there might be tools to make the job easier/cleaner/more
efficient. From the responses I have gotten, it would seem that that is likely not the
case, so I'll just say "thank you all for your time", and let the matter rest.
It occurred to me that it might be more efficient to start with the
year-to-date first.
The reasoning is that over time the number of old entries will increase,
so if you see that a timestamp isn't in this period_of_time, then it's
not in any smaller_period_of_time either, so you can short-circuit.
Compare doing these for an old entry:
Day first: this day? no; this week? no; this month? no; this year? no.
Year first: this year? no.
