#44 Business usecases

[Anonymous]

Targetting business use cases, there is a lack of support for calculating working days or as opposite holydays.

In the specific Chronology classe there are no methods to calculate specific floating holidays like the gregorian/ julian based Easter date like in ICU.

It would be useful to define helper methods to define an array or list of holydays, a formalism to define weekends (non working days). In business cases you could define a period (e. g. calculation contract durations, subscriptions and so on) applying to this formalism to get only the amount of days for this kind of timespan (considering the defined rules).
