But even if the time origin is fixed, I see a problem: not all the
months have the same number of days ( who the hell decided this? ). So
if for example the time object represents January 31st and I want to add
1 month coming in the calendar span... which would be the resulting
date? February 28th/29th? March 1st? The same problem happens with years
if the time object is 29th February and you want to add 1 year in the
calendar span... which would be the resulting date?
Maybe I dont understand the issue, but the calculation of the lenght
of months is deterministic: you only need to determine if the year of
the time object is a leap one.
Or I missing something?
