Skipped/Dropped Years Feature

[dylanater11]

Just wanted to add a note, this feature could obviously be extended to allow for "Drop Months" and "Drop Days" as well. While the feature is definitely niche for people working with particularly wonky calendars this could be one of the final pieces that allows for corrections.

I'm also wondering if a "Negative Leap Day" would achieve this? If you could have every month in a year "skip" at the end of 19 years, or effectively leap a single time, then cycles and such would move forward as if a year as passed, but the lunar and solar cycle would not be effected! I could totally be wrong about this, but "Negative Leap Days" does sound like it would work. Moving on with that idea, people could use it to correct for very minute issues in their solar/lunar synchronicity. For instance, even the Coligny calendar would need to drop a month every 6,536 years in order to not allow solar slippage to take over. It also needs to drop a day every 61 years. Negative Leap Days/Months would allow for this.

Edit: You could have a month skip every 6536 years if you were able to type in "!6536,1" into the interval slot for months. But it seams you cannot! Request 2: Expansion of the leap month feature to allow for the same inputs as leap days.

Sorry for the mess of writing! Just hope this spurs ideas if anything! :)
