I contributed a later version of this to the discussion on
alt.comp.lang.applescript yesterday - and then realised about three hours
later that it could be simplified to:

on daysInMonth(theDate)
copy theDate to tmpDate
set tmpDate's day to 32
return 32 - (tmpDate's day)
end daysInMonth

Now the one-liner:

tell theDate to 32 - (((date ("1 " & its month & " " & its year)) + 31 * days)'s day) returning x

See? you can't "set x to tell blah" but you can "tell blah returning x".
