Assuming this requests support for partial dates in Time values, I'm declining this for technical and semantic reasons. A Time data value represents a specific point in time (with some level of uncertainty). It doesn't represent a partial date or recurring date. Mixing partial or recurring dates with points in time would be confusing (especially for machines), they should not use the same data type nor the same properties.
If you think we need support for this kind of incomplete dates (how is this different from recurring dates?), please request a data type to be added for this. A new data type would also mean separate properties.
On that note, using P3150 for birthdays as @Esc3300 mentions, and referring to the appropriate item representing the relevant day-of-the-year, seems like a good solution to me. Is that not sufficient?
