Re: Use Vim to compute the date of Easter

I'm not sure that anyone in North America in 1752 cared much about dates
more precise than a season, (see "The Soul of A New Machine"), but "cal 9
1752" illustrates the change. (I wonder how rents, salaries, and other
periodic payments were pro-rated?)

Imagine trying to run an airline (or even a railroad) with the sort of
temporal confusion explained in the rest of the message. :-)*
