hadley/lubridate — Issue #114: Adding `years` periods to 29 Feb badness

Suppose we have the instant:
`date3 <- ymd("2012-02-29")`

Now suppose that we would like to find the instant one (period) year from date3:
`date3 + years(1) # "2013-03-01 UTC"`

*This looks wrong*.

It should probably return `"2013-02-28 UTC"`.

Hope that clarifies what I would expect. Love to hear feedback. Perhaps I misunderstood the definition of a period (as per "Dates and Times Made Easy with lubridate", Apr 2011)
