Chalten: Month and Year Units

Administrator

I guess they aren't derived from each other because e.g. the Hebrew calendar has leap months. But doesn't that just mean that "Month" is representing two incompatible distinctions? It seems we should be able to distinguish "1 gregorianYear = 12 gregorianMonths" from "1 hebrewYear convertTo: months" which is an invalid question.

Right now, one can't ask "1 yearMeaure / 12 monthsMeaure" and get 1

Cheers,
Sean

Isn't Chalten only for gregorian calendars?

I see from the paper (http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/Teaching/CoursAnnecy/0506-M1-COO/A%20New%20Object-Oriented%20Model%20of%20the%20Gregorian%20Calendar.pdf) that this used to be the case
