That’s precisely what I’d expect as well, and what APIs in languages like Java do.

This is literally how every sane API works in languages built by adults. For example, here’s what happens in Java:

java.time.LocalDate.of(2023, 3, 31)
> #object[java.time.LocalDate 0x2bc77260 "2023-03-31"]
java.time.LocalDate.of(2023, 3, 31).minusMonths(1)
> #object[java.time.LocalDate 0xac0dc15 "2023-02-28"]
java.time.LocalDate.of(2023, 3, 31).minusMonths(2)
> #object[java.time.LocalDate 0x44b9305f "2023-01-31"]

I have no idea where people get this notion that a month isn’t a defined size. Do people just not understand the concept of a month?

The amount of people arguing that this is a fine behavior in this thread makes the whole thing even funnier.
