s for things from other calendars: Mid-Autumn Festival, Ramadan, ...

This issue is tentatively accepted pending a volunteer committed to its implementation.
Since #406 brings up the issue of mid-autumn festival, I figured that I should open a tracking issue for handling non-trivial
variable_date
s generally stemming from other calendar systems. A list I can think of are:Each of these calendar systems will likely require an external dependency with loads of tabulation, so expect discussions about optional dependencies and porting. (Even with a system as "simple and native" as Gregorian, it took some work to figure out how to find Easter!)
Dependency on observation may require updates every couple of years, and also increase the amount of data required to ship. Unless you try to predict the future. (Well, the dependency should handle it...)
