Gregorian / Julian calendars

I understand that 1752 in England marked the division between use of the Gregorian and Julian calendars. In addition to the calendar correction, the start of the year was changed from 25 March to 1 January. Is there a systematic way of handling this in KKPro? In my notes, I tend to characterise pre 1752 dates in the months of Jan/Feb/Mar as for example 19 Feb 1722/23 to denote 1722 in the old style reckoning and 1723 in the new style.

Kith and Kin Pro does not handle so called "dual dates" eg. 1722/23, other than entering them as "Date phrases", ie. with an apostrophe in front. This will allow you to enter them but they will not be used by the program for date calculations.

I realise that this is a bit of a shortcoming but the current implementation of dates in K&KPro cannot deal with this.
