Date class>>leapYear

Hi,

Date class>>leapYear returns 1 for a leap year and 0 for a non-leap year.
Shouldn't the return value be a boolean (true/false)?

Playing a bit more with Date I came across another oddity

(Date fromString: '28 Feb 2002') yearsSince: (Date fromString: '29 Feb
2000')

returns 2. I would expect that to return 1. Would somebody born on the 29th
in a leap year celebrate their birthday on the 28th or the 1st of March?

Neither, people born on a leap year day age at approx. 1/4 the speed of
everybody else. So they only have birthdays in leapyears.
