I get that .later( :1month) is problematic for the last day(s),
particularly someone stepping month by month from 2021-12-31
may not expect to get 2022-03-28. But that can be considered
naive.
But for .later( :1year ) from a leap day, I am finding reports
that -03-1 is legalistically correct
Anything here?

I'm not sure...
Basically when moving by month / year, it just basically moves that field in
the date, and then checks for validity of the res
I don't think there is a standard. But the same will happen with
.later(:1month) on a month with 31 days where the day is 31, or a DateTime
with a leapsecond advancing by a unit larger than a second. It minimizes
the changes in nominal units.
