model to model function calling?

Hi delay,

If ...

I have a general_model in which I keep various string and date manipulation functions.

is your only goal, then the true CI solution is called a Helper. You should put these simple procedural calls inside a Helper file and keep thing efficient. All the extra overhead mentioned above may not be necessary.

Besides, helpers already exists for Dates:

and for string stuff:

Just in case you haven't seen them.
