Oh, certainly! But in the absence of "intuitive", I've found in the past that "standardised" is often better than nothing :-) (For example, I use Oracle's add_months function fairly often - it's not perfect, and not always intuitive, but at least it's well-defined in the corner cases, and fine for "normal" use).
