The worries did start in 1997, the first year after the last leapyear: THE
MILLENNIUM crisis - for god's sake - they really got worried ...!!
Does anybody know wether they have "already" a solution for
The next date crisis, by R.L. Glass, ACM Communications, jan. 1997?

'm fond too of the following in Dyalog. There are shorter ways to
write daysin, but I'm seduced by lucidity.
? is ? a leap year?
leap?{0 2??+?×4 100 1000?.|?}
? m daysin y
daysin?{?[?]}?{31 ? 31 30 31 30 31 31 30 31 30 31}?{28+leap ?}
and for those whose email clients mangle Unicode:
leap <- {0 2 {member}{commute} +/[1] ×4 100 1000 °.| w}
daysin <- {w[a]}°{31 w 31 30 31 30 31 31 30 31 30 31}°{28+leap w}
