Likewise, subtracting, should also be Mod 12, and ditto for the year.
Likewise, the Date class should be smart enough to know how many
days are in any particular month for any particular year, and should
also make additions to the Day field in an intelligent manner.
It is, and it does. A great deal of effort went into making sure it
works that way (well, except on the Mac, where such nice behavior is
provided by the OS).
Joe, William does not power on its brain before starting to write, so his
fingers wrote the text before its brain make a chance to do something (anything)
before the mail was sent ;)
