Doing the forward septets is easy (1*x..7*x), but the reverse septets
are more complicated (since they would be (y-1*x..y-7*x), where y is the
total number of days in the month (which also has to account for leap
years).
I think it might be a nice enhancement, but I recommend that we not
include it right now, given the tight release schedule for FreeIPA v2.
