Ah so.  I was just thinking of "whatever calendar we're
actually using".  You're right though, it's the Gregorian
that has this new wrinkle (since around 1582) of messing
with the "once every four" rule.

So I should have changed the name of my function def.
One could have both functions in the module, and a
parameter (with a default) to control re which calendar
you're asking. E.g.:

     def isLeap(yr,julian=0):
         if julian:
            return isJulianLeap(yr)
         else:
            return isGregorianLeap(yr)

Include the above in a "get user input loop" if desired
(or just use it as is in the shell as is -- my preference).

Thanks for the edifying remarks.
