Comment/question for Chris Nebel (or anyone else who can answer):
why does "month" require "its" but day doesn't require "its"?
(Even without "as integer", "month" requires "its"; without "its"
it returns "month" as a key word, but with "its", it returns the
name of the month.)
It's an ambiguity in the grammar, and AppleScript tends to resolve it
in the way people don't want. "month" is both a class and a property
in that context; AppleScript assumes it's a class. To make it
syntactically clear that it's a property, you have to add the "its".
