Peter Hilton commented on JBRULES-497:
--------------------------------------
Note that what we are asking for looks like the way that Postgres SQL works with dates and
'intervals' -
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/functions-datetime.html
It lets you construct an interval from a string like '2 months' and lets you add
it to a date to get another date, so you can do comparisons like (date1 < date2 +
interval '2 months')
On another topic, I saw 'working days' mentioned on the mailing list, which would
be especially useful but I fear hides a tricky internationalisation issue. The
'working week' is not Monday to Friday everywhere:

Would be VERY nice to have this working at the parser level to parser dates in a string,
but also possibly in our expression language to overload "+", "-" etc
for subtracting dates/fragments of dates:
eg:
today - "6Months"
