... it'd be even better if there was an obvious way to solve a common

How long would it take the average Perl programmer to a) find
DateTime::Event::Recurrence in the DateTime docs and b) understand
that the scalar context of a function returns the number of elements?
And the lingo isn't even accurate: If as_list() truly returned a list,
the result in scalar context would be largely surprising. I guess it
returns an array, not a list, right?
Probably something like subtract_datetime_absolute_in_days() would
be easier to grasp (referring to subtract_datetime_absolute() which does
something similar). Or maybe even something like
$from->full_days_to($to);
would do the trick?
