Remarks

For example, in HebrewCalendar, GetMonthsInYear returns 12 for a common year or 13 for a leap year.

Notes to Inheritors

The derived class must support CurrentEra when it is passed as the era parameter. One way to support CurrentEra is by replacing it with the value stored in Eras[0], which is the value for the current era of the calendar.
