Subject: Docs imply that $t->month returns long name, but it doesn't
The docs imply that $t->month & $t->monname return the long month name ("February"), but they only return the 3 letter abbreviations. I'd suggest fixing the docs (no need to break backwards compatibility) and ideally, also adding a $t->month_long method (or something like that) that _does_ return the long name. Obviously, this has some implications for the localization bits (mon_list) but it wouldn't be too hard to add a mon_list_long function as well.

Fixed in CVS. Added fullmonth() function to do what the docs suggested so we don't break old code. Also fixed the same with day() and fullday()
