Add a new datatype for denoting yearly quarters (which apparently is quite a common thing).
Proposed name: yearquarter (following the existing yearmonth)
Formatting:
default format yyyy-Qq, e.g.: 2015-Q1, 2013-Q4
format parameter:
Same as in date, with these extensions:
- %q should be used to indicate a numeric quarter number (between 1 and 4)
- %Q should be used to indicate a quarter number in Roman numerals (case insensitive, between I and IV)
I thought about this when I introduced yearmonth and year #105 - how often do quarters show up and do they need their own type? This is a classic "feature" vs "complexity" trade-off and i'd like more data before we made a decision.
Re @Stephen-Gates we should at least be clear how people can translate / interpret this stuff now.
