Changing the name would create a lot of chaos. Not judging if it's worth it, just an observation. \r\n\r\nWhat about merging the TimeModels.jl into TimeSeries?\r\n\r\nThat would go contrary to the initial goals of the package to remain lightweight of course. This would make a case for splitting out TimeArrays.jl as a separate package that would meet the goals of remanning lightweight.\r\n\r\nThere is also the matter that maybe TimeArrays are not the best way to represent time series in Julia. The Timestamps.jl package experiments with a different approach, but I don't think it's there yet.\r\n\r\nIdeally, and I haven't groked how this works, TimeSeries hijacks Julia's array implementation and replaces row numbers with DateTime values. This will require hacking into the C code of course."}}
