Mixing relative and non-relative format for different time components

[andriichernenko]

I need dates formatted the following way:
"yesterday 3:25 AM"
"today 4:00 PM"
"tomorrow 10:00 PM"
"3 days ago 10:00 PM"

I am not sure this is possible with SwiftDate 3.0.2 I am using (though I must admit I might not have understood something, there seem to be so many parameters). Here is what I tried:

date.toString(.ShortStyle, relative: true) is the closest to what I need, but not quite it. I need more control over the resulting string. For instance, I would like to be able to control capitalization, or get rid of comma, or output "yest" instead of "yesterday".

Deprecation note for toRelativeString() method says I should "Use toNaturalString() with relative parameters". However, I can't seem to figure out how to do this. FormatterStyle struct, which is supposed to be used for configuration, does not expose any parameters to configure relative formatting.

Also, there is Issue #79, toComponentsStrings might be of help, but it is not included in 3.0.2.

I'm working on a new implementation. I'll post more infos during this week.

Do you have any specs yet so I can write the test code?

[malcommac]

Yup I'll post specs before weekend (hope later today)

I'll close this. Now we have an initial implementation; we can continue here: #168
I've posted specs about the class and the implementation. We can start working on it.
