Happy new year!

this is not a registered package and I don’t have an idea about the proper name for it.  
it works like Charles Dye’s `cal` that was present and have used from almost 50 years ago.

> **[cal (command)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cal_(Unix))**
>
> cal is a command-line utility on a number of computer operating systems including Unix, Plan 9, Inferno and Unix-like operating systems such as Linux that prints an ASCII calendar of the given month or year. If the user does not specify any command-line options, cal will print a calendar of the current month. The command is a standard program on Unix and specified in the Single UNIX Specification.
> The cal command was present in 1st Edition Unix. A cal command is also part of ASCII's MSX-DOS2 Too...

```julia
