* 29 February if it's a leap lear, 28 February otherwise.
If that's 1 month before 31 March, then what's 1 month before 30 March? 1 month before 29 March? 1 month before 28 March?

I wouldn't mind adding more date-arithmetic functions to libtai/caldate, but I haven't seen a coherent explanation of the desired functions.
