When we can see a first version in the incubator ?

If we wish to format several dates in the same format in a iterator, it is necessary to chain the methods set() then get(). A method could define the format and an other one to have a parameter Zend_Date and returns the date string with the format defined previously like Zend_View_Helper_Currency.

What is the difference between method get() and toString() ?
