    Birth       => 1, 
    Christening => 2,
    Baptism     => 3,

class Date::Event {
    has $.id;
    has $.name;
    has $.short-name;
    has EType $.type;
    has Date $.date;
    has Date $.date-observed;
    has $.notes;

    # A default event is normally set on a certain date.
    # Many holidays are an exception in that they are calculated
    # based on one or more date criteria or conversion
    # from another calendar (e.g., from Jewish to Gregorian).
    has Bool $.is-calculated = False; 
}

#= Enable the user to change the attribute
method is-calc {
    $!is-calculated = True
}
