Why wouldn't you just use the ruby functions for adding a month to a date?

https://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.5.1/libdoc/date/rdoc/Date.html#method-i-3C-3C

It seems really weird that there's so much pushback against "date time math is tricky, read the manual to find out exactly which compromise your library chose".
