I liked them alot.   I think they are intuitive and simple.

How 'bout the following %BIF's. They seem like a good
choice but maybe they've been discounted earlier in
this thread:

%DAY
%MONTH
%YEAR
%CEN
%DATE
%TIME
- %HOUR
- %MIN
- %SEC
- %MSEC

Eg:
Eval  Day = %Day(Timestamp)
Eval  %Day(Timestamp) = 31

or

Eval %Date(Timestamp) = ISODate
Eval CurTime = %Time(Timestamp)

etc.

This seems pretty intuitive but obviously I do not
have the whole picture from the language development
point of view.

Comments?
