DateTime->day_count_in_year( year => 1999, day => 4 );
I think this is what was originally meant.
What would people need this info for?
I'm not sure about the count in a year, but I frequently need to determine how many of a given day of the week fall in a given month of the year, or, more precisely, given that today is Saturday, September 20, I need to figure out whether today is the first, second, third, fourth, or fifth Saturday of the month. I've worked out code using existing methods to tell me what I need to know, and I'm not sure that an entirely new method is warranted here.
