IMHO a date diff in this format us desperately misleading, as the count of days

understood but it is what many of us want for tasks of this nature... it means
that one need know the numbers of days in the months between the dates so they
can be properly counted... it also means knowing if a leap year is involved at

the *Span routines may be able to give us this info since they have fractional
