I agree with Christian in the sense that the readability gets compromised.
But I also think that a custom DateTime class should solve the problem
properly, since readability is not a general requirement.
My solution for that problem would be to create that extension and have
those nice methods on
It's just a matter of getting used to it IMO. I am not sure if you can
