Hi. I've looked briefly at Set::Infinite::Date. It seems like it
might be useful for Reefknot (http://www.reefknot.org).  One of the
things we need to be able to do is to calculate, for example,
recurring appointments.  RFC2445 specifies ways to talk about
recurrences: "This event happens from 13:00 to 14:00 every Tuesday,
unless that Tuesday is the 15th of the month." That's a complex
case, but you get the idea.

Your module seems only to do union/intersection of times; do you
think it could be extended to handle recurrence calculation as an
infinite series? Or does it do that already, and I just haven't
noticed in my brief read-through of the documentation?
