JDK 1.1 provided java.util.Calendar, an abstract base class for
converting between a Date object and a set of integer fields
such as YEAR, MONTH, DAY, HOUR, and so on. When implementing a
calendar widget on top of this API, we found one obvious
function that was missing: a way to get the number of days in
the current month. We propose to add getActualMaximum() and
getActualMinimum() functions that parallel the getMinimum() and
getMaximum() functions and tell you the actual minimum and
maximum value for a field given the current values of the other
fields.
