And even if we would have access to the original date: It may be
something like the last day of February and from that alone it is not
evident, wether e.g. the 28. of each month should be used or the last
day of month.

Therefore, I think, the only solution to this problem is to have some
kind of special 'last day of month' marker. Maybe something like
"+1m!" or any other way of encoding this "go to the last day of the
next month" directly into the increment specifier.
