Is 0 the best thing for a not-set value? Maybe NaN or -infinity? Or maybe 0 is OK.

Is 0 the best way to represent this? I guess a date in the distant past is OK, but for that we could also use -infinity. Or maybe 0 is OK.

I kinda hate using platform as a function name prefix. Especially since this is not the same function as incorporateUpdate -- it’s only a part of the work. I would prefer this have the same name the function would have if there was only one platform.

This should always be initialized directly afterwards by the caller so it really doesn't matter.

I think 0 is OK.

I changed this to be just another overload of incorporateUpdate.
