Here are the two calendars in question for 1748, to give you an idea
of what's going on. The two years have differing start and end dates,
and have differing numbers of days (one has 365 days, the other 366).
The Emacs calendar displays as a series of months, it would not be
hard to support starting the year at a different month.
Starting the year at a day that is not first of a month is not hard either.
The only hard part is how to show the user where the year starts.
