I see "win and fix" is a long-forgotten mantra.
I should explain that. holiday timing is an annual screwup that more
years than not causes a CFJ, with lots of subtle "before" and "after"
and "at the time of" and I'm worried that an insta-fix would break
more
than it fixes. (and anyway, a proper fix would be 'by proposal' and
holidays nix that). I'll fully work to right away implement whatever
fix is right.
My suggestion: holidays: The time between Dec 24 and Jan 2 Just Does
Not Exist. Anything happening during that time is deemed to happen
on Jan 3 (though in the order it was sent over the holidays), and
for duration-based-spells, er, rules, that time is just subtracted
out.
I was under the impression that, to swipe a term from B Nomic, a
Holiday turns off the game clock.
