Ok.

Date today + 15 days
Date today + 1 day
((Date today + 1 day)  - Date today) days

That works.  So, does this mean that we should deprecate the following
methods in Date so that the observed API doesn't confuse future users?
#addDays:, #addMonths:, #subtractDays:, #subtractDate: ?

Also, TimeStamp is not marked as deprecated in any way at all - no comment,
no other marking.  Although I normally wouldn't have noticed, since I have
ODBC loaded which loads a completely different TimeStamp (with Magnitude
superclass instead of DateAndTime like the default TimeStamp in Trunk).
 Which means it should probably be patched to use a more normal TimeStamp
representation.
