I rarely use the built-in date function anymore but store dates as 
longs in yyyymmdd format. It is a practical alternative for many 
situations. Most of my date handling focuses on checking which one is 
within a specific time period or which one is before another. And the 
dates I output are bilingual, so I need to format them anyway.
