DateTime.AddWeeks

[hrrrrustic]

Is there any reason why there is no AddWeeks() method on DateTime? I can't find any issues/discussions about it
I thought it always had been there, but I typed "AddW" today and didn't find it 😄

I understand that it's simply AddDays(smth * 7), but

• Same can be done for hours for example, just AddMinutes(smth * 60)
• Week is kinda basic block of dates, seems logical to have separate api for it
• Also AddWeeks method exists in Calendar class and it seems a little bit inconsistently

... Calendar has one because weeks aren't always 7 days (although since DateTime(Offset) is essentially the ISO calendar, the shortcut is probably okay).

Yeah, that's true, but it looks strange that more complicated type has such an easy method, while a simple DateTime that is more widely used not

[Clockwork-Muse]

has such an easy method

This is false, as week length can vary throughout a "year" (or other measure), or whether a date is even considered part of a normal "week".
The somewhat satirical Discordian calendar considers the equivalent to February 29th to be an "outside the week" day (IIRC, it actually splits the week in two) - as such, AddWeeks would skip the day, and starting on that date raises an interesting question....
