Hi,

Natural date parsing is a really exciting feature. It would be
interesting to play with it. However, one major issue I see with this
feature is localization. Do this library support several locales?

I think localization-aware natural date parsing is a not an easy
feature. It could be worth including it in GTG dependancies, then (at
least if the package is well maintained).
