[Boost-users] Boost::Date_Time - Incr and Decr Operators

Getting started with Boost::Date_Time ...

It seems that this is OK:

greg_year y1(2000);
y1 = y1 + 1;

but this is not:

greg_year y1(2000);
y1++;

I take it that the increment and decrement operators are not implemented for 
greg_year (or the corresponding month, day, etc. types).
Is this just incidental to the current implmentation, or is there some 
particular architectural or domain reason why ++ and -- aren't in the mix?
