Hanke-Henry Calendar

hanke-henry is a gem that deals with the proposed Hanke-Henry Calendar. This calendar has the following characteristics over the presently adopted Gregorian Calendar:

1. Calendar remains identical for the most part.
2. No time zones.
3. No Daylight Savings Time.

The typical year in the current Gregorian calendar has 365 days, which is 52 weeks and 1 day. The leap years occur every 4 years (with some exceptions). The basic idea of the Hanke-Henry calendar is to gather the overflow days of the typical year and the leap days and into chunks of 7, which will form a mini-month (called Xtr) at the end of the year every so often.

The H-H calendar also proposes to abolish time zones and Daylight Savings Time, essentially standardizing on the current UTC.

hanke-henry extends the Date and DateTime classes to deal with this calendar.

d1.hh # => "2012-1-1"
d1.xtr? # => false
