NSCalendar can handle overflow, so you can have an NSDateComponent that says something like Year:2008 Month:1 Days:364 and you will get the right date from components.

You should not rely on this behaviour.


Oh dear, thanks for noticing that! I should have double-checked: Only - dateByAddingComponents:toDate:options: is documented to handle "overflow". Not -dateFromComponents:, which is actually documented to return nil for out-of-range values. Sorry about that.
