and a new one for this use case -- the current "gregorian" is NOT the same 
thing. It often (maybe mostly) is, but it is actually ambiguous with regard to 
leap seconds, and we need to keep that.

Also, once we have the new "calendars", it should not be used for this use 
case, and should only be used with "metrical" values :-)
