That reads like nonsense. When I find the end of a month,
I am not "adding the end of the month" to the date.
I'm becoming more and more convinced that this whole
thing is an abuse of the '+' operator.
By the way, can you subtract relativedeltas as well as
add them? If '+' makes sense, '-' should make sense, too.
