Modifies the time point *this represents by the duration dy or dm

1) Equivalent to *this = *this + dy;
2) Equivalent to *this = *this + dm;
3) Equivalent to *this = *this - dy;
4) Equivalent to *this = *this - dm;

For durations that are convertible to both std::chrono::years and std::chrono::months, the years overloads (1,3)

Example

#include <cassert>
#include <chrono>
 
int main()
{
    auto ym{std::chrono::day(1)/7/2023};
 
    ym -= std::chrono::years{2};
    assert(ym.month() == std::chrono::July);
    assert(ym.year() == std::chrono::year(2021));
 
    ym += std::chrono::months{7};
    assert(ym.month() == std::chrono::month(2));
    assert(ym.year() == std::chrono::year(2022));
}
