$Date.RangeString question

Hi,

How is $Date.RangeString envisaged to work?

If I put:

$StartDate.RangeString( EndDate )

in a template. The error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function DayOfMonth() on a non-object .../sapphire/core/model/fieldtypes/Date.php on line 87

Occurs. This is because what is passed into RangeString is simply the string 'EndDate'. If I put:

$StartDate.RangeString( $EndDate )

in a template. The error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ')'

is raised from the cache. A quick look there shows:

$val .= $item->obj("StartDate")->XML_val("RangeString",array("
SSVIEWER;
$val .= $item->XML_val("EndDate",null,true) ;
$val .= <<<SSVIEWER
"),true) ;
$val .= <<<SSVIEWER

Which I am guessing is a bit of a wrong 'un. Is this an issue with the template parser?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Kevin
