Add numerics to mondates. 
 When units = "months" or "years" and the <code>numeric</code> is a whole number
 the result has the same 
 day of the month subject to the number of days in the month,
 thus abandoning <code>mondate</code>'s
 approach of representing days as fractional months.
 See examples.

Keep track of dates in terms of fractional calendar months
per Damien Laker "Time Calculations for Annualizing Returns: the Need for Standardization",
The Journal of Performance Measurement, 2008.
Model dates as of close of business.
Perform date arithmetic in units of "months" and "years".
Allow "infinite" dates to model "ultimate" time.
