  I don't know how many calendars are in use nowadays... I've found a web where some \
are listed, although i don't think all are in use today... \
http://www.dailyglobe.com/caltype.html

  The idea is using not an abstract calendar but an abstract class Date and \
calendar-specific date classes inherited, like GregorianDate, HijriDate, \
JulianDate... Displayed by only one calendar class, the actual one, which instead of \
taking the data from QDate,  might take data from our new date classes through its \
base class, Date (thanks to polymorfism). In that way, we'd have a clean design and \
adding new caledar-type-dates would be easy..
