Subject: how about a Yesterday() function?
"How do I get yesterday's date?" is a frequently asked question. I usually tell people to use something like: Add_Delta_Days( Today(), -1 ); perhaps Yesterday() could be a wrapper for that.

Add sub Yesterday { Add_Delta_Days( Today(), -1 ) } to your code if you need it often and don't care about the inefficiency (otherwise cache the result).
