Date plus(Duration days)
Add the specified number of days to this date to get a date in the future.
Throw ArgErr if days parameter it not an even number of days.
Example:
Date(2008, Month.feb, 28) + 2day => 2008-03-01
Why an ArgErr if days is an odd number?
In sys/java/fan/sys/Date.java I see that it is checked
private Date plus(long ticks)
{
// check even number of days
if (ticks % Duration.nsPerDay != 0)
throw ArgErr.make("Duration must be even num of days");

Hi Fraya, I've noticed that description before, and it's an odd use of the English language. It just means, whole number of days, as in:
Because the class is a
Date
, it doesn't make sense to add 3 hours to it; only multiple of days.Hope this makes sense?

My fault. I'm very much obliged to you for improving my English :)
