 According to
 http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_37_0/doc/html/date_time/gregorian.html


 {{{
 date end_of_month_day() const

 Returns the last day of the month for the date.

 date d(2000,Feb,1);
 //gets Feb 28 -- 2000 was leap year
 date eom = d.end_of_month_day();
 }}}

 Now, 2000 was indeed a leap year, so the last day of February should be
 "Feb 29". Either this is just a small documentation bug, or a large one
 that fails to explain the semantics of {{{end_of_month_day()}}}.
