James Sawle commented on LANG-1065:
-----------------------------------

Hi,
My answer to this is two fold:
- yes I do enjoy submitting patches
- however, this is something we have custom implemented in our code base and I have had to do in multiple code bases elsewhere. Whilst Java 8 and Joda Time are nice solutions to the problem, both would be to large a refactor (and my previous projects would not have been supported within the contract)

I can not believe we are the only two users of the commons-lang framework who would find this useful, maybe just the only two on the Jira boards. This would aid a lot, as would split methods doing the inverse.
