[gtkmm] status of memberfunctions of Glib::TimeVal

[Stephan Puchegger <puchs ap univie ac at>]

Dear maintainers & contributors!

I know that this is not important, but I ask anyway:
Is there any specific reason why Glib::TimeVal contains the memberfunctions

subtract
add_milliseconds
add_microseconds

but not

add
substract_milliseconds
substract_microseconds

?

Glib::TimeVal seems to be more than just a wrapper of the glib functions.
Only one of the three functions mentioned above is a simple wrapper of a
glib function. Why have these functions been added and not the other ones?

The operators +, - would IMHO also be nice additions.

Are these additions something that is attractive? Glib::TimeVal just seems
to be incomplete (no offense ment!). Probably no one ever needed them (and
thats a good reason for their absence).

I am willing to write a patch if these additions are attractive.


	thanks for reading this anyway
