Jeff,
The main problem I see with this syntax is that d + months(MONTHS) + DAYS; is not equivalent to d + DAYS + months(MONTHS); and I sometimes this might lead to the error prone code. This is why I prefer to use add_month function.

True. In any case, there is a point of having the add_month(const date&, int) function as well.
I'm currently using my home grown date classes. I will switch to the Date-Time, once these changes will be available in the boost release.
