Re: convertible bond class - scheduled events

Joseph Wang
Hi Adjriou!!!!

Something that you could look at is how QuantLib handles events such as
dividend payments and callability schedules.  The place to start looking
is in the ConvertibleBond class which has some work Tboafo did on
callability schedules and dividend schedules and the work on option
pricing engines.  Also take a look at the schedule classes.

It seems to me that there ought to be a unified framework for handling
events, but it isn't clear to me how this would work.  If you could
think about the design and lead some discussion on it, it would be most
useful.

One thing that sort of bothers me is that in the option classes refer to
dividend's but the options don't have dividends, they are options on
stocks with dividends.
