--- Comment #4 from ady <[email protected]> ---
For the CEILING() function, there are several variants, both in Calc and in
Excel, because of the several interpretations and definitions.

As for the DATEDIF() function, leave it alone. It is there for interoperability
and backward compatibility.

Most spreadsheet tools recommend users to use other alternative functions
instead of DATEDIF() when possible, precisely because of several shortcomings
of the function.

There is no point to invest resources in "correcting" this function in any way
at all. There are other functions that indeed deserve to be corrected (and the
list is not that short). DATEDIF() should not be touched in any way.

FWIW, among several sites detailing some of the several shortcomings of this
function, there is <https://exceljet.net/functions/datedif-function>.

The TDF wiki mentions alternative functions too.
