[Cosmo-dev] Re: [commits-cosmo] (travis) [4317] Duration serialization functions.

[Bobby Rullo]

Travis,

Is this function supposed to return the difference between two dates,  
in the format of a Duration object?

One potential problem I see is that startDate, which is just an alias  
to dt1 which is one of the arguments gets trampled on. You probably  
want to clone that first...
