Gabor,
what you propose is not really feasible, because R relies on the fact that it
can meaningfully order the the versions as to determine the update order. If
you use arbitrary strings then ordering becomes random - that's why git commit

Some people (luckily not me anymore!) working with mortgages and
pensions need to calculate up to 40 years into the future for the
payment schedule.

Thanks for the clarification Simon. Having a look at the code in datetime.c, I
