is this obsoleted by Datetime.jl?

If so, maybe we should mark it as deprecated?

The biggest differences at this point are as follows:

-Datetime's parsing/formatting functionality is about 50%, but coming along nicely and it's just a matter of me finding the time to finish it up

-Datetime doesn't support any localization stuff (displaying dates according to system locale), this I would argue would be a reason to keep Calendar.jl if Datetime eventually gets merged into Base as has been discussed

-There are a few more API wrinkles to iron out in Datetime, notably dealing with ambiguous inter-Period conversions, ambiguous arithmetic operations, and making sure the pluggable Calendar/Timezone parameters are cleaned up.

That's kind of the status of Datetime.

Concur that localization is a good reason to maintain Calendar. And for now at least, the parsing and formatting options in Calendar appear to be the best available in Julia.
