i think it would be ok, if it was the END of the month, you know... since if i put in 11/30 and i say, "ok, cf increment that by a month..." i cant imagine a use case where anyone in any industry would want it to not go to the end of December? but yeah, a different incrementer would be the BEST case, i think.
