Yes, one of my thoughts was to rework Boost.DateTime IO to employ 
Boost.Spirit. Another thing that ought to be done is to parse format 
strings only once, during the facet initialization. And the third thing 
is to move all that code into the compiled binary of Boost.DateTime. It 
really adds quite a bit to users' binary size now.
