One could rewrite the example script as

	# figure out what day we have by subtraction
	j = (Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec)
	c = ()
	mon = ()
	for (i in 31 $feb 31 30 31 30 31 31 30 31 30 31)
		if (~ $#mon 0) {
			c = ($c 1)
			if (expr $i '>' $d >/dev/null)
				mon = $#c
			if not
				d = `{expr $d - $i}
		}

The lack of break may require recasting the form of a script.
