I'd _really_ like to see this be based on Rata Die, which is January 1,
0001. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rata_Die
Your answer made it clear to me that people are not going to like the
daycount (or day-count) accessor. I consciously did not specify an epoch
on which daycount was based because I didn't want to force the
implemntor's hand more than absolutely necessary.
Since number-of-days-relative-to-a-fixed-epoch is still available
trivially as $date - $start-of-epoch I've now removed the daycount
related methods.
