Most of the functions there are calendar agnostic, like DATE_ADD,
et al.

BTW, if you really need Iranian calendar in there, I suggest
writing it as an stored procedure.  Then you don't need
administrator priviledges to install the procedure, any user can
do that.

Lemme explain my answer a bit.  I didn't mean to insult anybody.
Big projects like MySQL have their own very high standards for
coding, and the maintainers are so busy that 1) it takes up to
months, before they respond to an enhancement patch, 2) they
don't have time to make patches perfect.  That's all I meant.
