... and thinking further this doesn't work correctly in some cases, for
example my VAT payments are due on 31st March, 30th June, 30th September
and 31st December.   If I set up a TODO with a start date of, say, 21st
of the month with a due date of 31st to give me 10 days where I can set
'completed' then for some months the due date, being after the end of
the month, will be wrong.  This is an actual scenario that I need now,
I'm sure there are other cases where the confusion could be even worse.
