> The description of ACCRINT has several issues:
> 1) The constraint is given as: issue < first < settlement ; coupon > 0; par > 0. OOo and Excel clearly permit settlement<first and most examples on the web seem to be of that kind.
> 2) The short description of calc_method reads "A logical value that specifies how to treat the case where settlement>first." which seems to imply that there is a permitted case where settlement > first does not hold.
> 3) The formula given contains the undefined  variables start-of-period and end-of-period. Especially in view of the statement "ACCRINT
> supports short, standard, and long coupon periods.", it is not clear what those values are.
> 4) If the constraint is changed, a formula for the settlement < first case is needed.
