Adding 10 years to 1912-02-29 returns 1922-02-29, as expected.
I would like to apply the reverse operation. To do so, I subtract 10 years from 1922-02-29 but I obtain 1912-02-28, so the math is actually wrong.


assuming 1922 was a leap year, 1912 is NOT a leap year, so therefore there is no 1912-02-29, that is an invalid date.
