[boost] boost::date_time: ISO compliant IO for periods/durations?

Hello boosters,

I would like to know whether there already exist ISO 8086
conforming extractors/inserters for the duration/period
classes? Specifically I am looking for io/string functions which
can handle "Periods of Time, no Specific Start or End", which
begin with a 'P' following a list of periods, e.g.

"P18Y9M4DT11H9M8S" (18 years, 9 months, 4 days, 11 hours,
9 minutes and 8 seconds)

(I am using the term period in the sense ISO 8086 seems to do,
i.e. including durations and periods - or did I overlook
something?)

Thanks for any help,

Daniel
