Description

I often output Date-based arrays [2011, 9, 3, 7, 14, 10] when building MapReduce queries. It's such a common pattern, that I'd find it very helpful to have this built into CouchDB (and ideally JavaScript! ).

I've written up the function to handle this at https://gist.github.com/1259891

Please consider it for inclusion into the share/server folder, so it can be available for everyone. It's such a common pattern that I think it makes sense for it to be part of the core distribution.
