Bug #66439 for Oxford-Calendar: Synopsis example, could be improved

From:	David Sheldon <dave [...] earth.li>

The example for man Oxford::Calendar is: use Oxford::Calendar; print "Today is ", Oxford::Calendar::ToOx(reverse Date::Calc::Today); Which uses ToOx in the array context, and ends up with a string that isn't very readable as it has no spaces. If we replaced the ", " with a "." then it'll use ToOx in the string context and actually format a date. Currently it says: Today is Monday8Hilary2011 With my change it'll say: Today is Monday, 8th week, Hilary 2011 A '\n' wouldn't go amis either, but might mess up the clarity of the example.
