@jelbourn Though this was posed as a question, I think it's a valid feature request.

The linked datepicker displays days in previous/next months as grayed out, and they are still selectable.

Here is another example from macOS reminders where clicking on one of the prev/next month's days moves back/forward a month.

Of course, this may explicitly be against the spec, with no chance of support. But it would be nice to know for sure since there isn't exactly a public spec for datepickers, beyond the brief note in full screen dialogs

[jelbourn]

Yeah, the spec we're working from (unfortunately still not public) calls for only days from the current month to be shown.
