Holiday rules and business days carry no holiday name

Table of Contents

This page is a capture in the inbox bucket of the product backlog — a pre-sprint idea, not yet pulled into a sprint as a story.

1. What

calendar_rule describes a holiday by its shape (fixed date, nth weekday, Easter offset) and has no name. calendar_date carries whether a day is a business day and how it was produced, nothing more. Only exceptions (description) and diary events (name) carry words. Add a name to the rule and carry it onto the materialised date.

2. Why

A person reading a calendar's holidays sees dates and shapes, not the holidays they know.
