Support querying for holidays

[PureTryOut]

I see this skill already depends on the holidays package, and I was wondering if it could allow for questions like "When is the next holiday" (returning e.g. in a week) or "How long is the next holiday" (returning e.g. 3 days) or "What is the next holiday" (returning e.g. summer vacation).

I'm not familiar with the package, does it have a method for returning the next holiday in a given location?

If so it sounds like a great addition!

It doesn't seem to have a method to query for the next holiday, but you can ask if if <some date> is a holiday in a given country. If there would be 1 holiday per year for a given country, you'd have to ask it a maximum of 364 days I suppose (appending 1 to the date every time) which sounds bad, but seeing it is done locally should be quick enough.

and most likely there's a holiday within the next month or two at max. So realistically < 60 operations

And holidays can technically be cached at startup as to provide a simple lookup table
