Hehe :) the client wants:
- 'infinitely repeating dates' (whatever thats supposed to mean in the
end)
- being able to predict whether courses overlap
- having exceptions to series (every monday except xxx)
My conclusion would be that probably the best way would be to simply
not support queries for predicting overlaps for dates without ending
point..
This probably makes most sense anyways since the only type of never
ending event is something like a birthday or memorial or so.. and there
you probably don't really need to know whether it overlaps with another
never ending event..
