    /*! This day counter tries to ensure that whole-month distances
        are returned as a simple fraction, i.e., 1 year = 1.0,
        6 months = 0.5, 3 months = 0.25 and so forth.

        \warning this day counter should be used together with
                 NullCalendar, which ensures that dates at whole-month
                 distances share the same day of month. It is <b>not</b>
                 guaranteed to work with any other calendar.

        \test the correctness of the results is checked against known
              good values.
