Indeed. calendar-abbrev-length only provides a default set of
abbreviations. I'm not going to introduce separate length variables for
days and months.

The introduction of this variable is no good idea. In German we are using two values: the number 2 for day names and the number 3 for month names.

To most people solutions mean finding the answers. But to chemists solutions
