while I do understand the reasoning behind the changes, it results in the loss of some "holidays" (at least based on how the current contents of the PR). I use this library since the early days of its existence and back then it didn't have more detailed options then "Country", I noticed there are now options to specify a "region" like e.g. NY -- maybe something similar needs to happen for Belgium as well? Thoughts? |

First of all thanks for your feedback! The loss of the holidays was one of the things why I did not merge this pull requests and thought a lot about this. Are there further holiday types that can be used for the holidays you are talking about? Maybe something like "authority". E.g. for Kings Feast they say
with the new API provided to filter the holidays directly by the holiday type, it would be easy to only return the holidays like "Public Holidays" and so on. In other words, if you would add new holiday types, less is better, than we could still have this holidays that are no public holiday. The only thing we need to do is to have a correct holiday type. |

To further differentiate between 'Public' and 'Bank' holiday types, should this be revised to indicate that 'Public' holidays are statutory holidays (enshrined in local law) mandated to be paid holidays, while 'Bank' holidays are when banks and other businesses may be closed? In the UK, "Bank" holidays are specifically defined as holidays that are defined by statute, while in other countries there are 'optional' or 'de facto' holidays where they may be widely observed by a given country or region as days businesses are closed and/or people are given a paid day off, but are not enshrined in local law as being a paid holiday. There's a larger discussion required (started in #537) about what other holiday types should be supported (including 'school' or 'authorities' as suggested in this PR), but providing further clarity and differentiation between 'public', 'bank', and 'unofficial' holidays would help establish how these types should be used and avoid confusion or re-work later on. |

as described in #537 we will change the holiday types so the following:
Public: Public holiday
Description: Public holidays are days when most of the public enjoys a paid non-working days. These days are determined by local laws and regulations. Countries use various names for these official non-working days, such as:
We will declare all of these as Public Holiday
Bank: Bank holiday, banks and offices are closed
Description: Bank holidays are days when financial institutions and government offices (and government-regulated businesses) are closed as determined by local laws and regulations. Other businesses, such as offices and retail stores, may also be closed on these days, though are not mandated to by local laws and regulations.
Observance Observance, is a celebration or commemoration that doesn't include a day off from work.
Description: When people celebrate or commemorate something, but do not have a day off from work for that reason, we call it an observance.
There are different types of observance like Religious, Secular, Awareness, International or National observance. We will declare all of these as Observance
Unofficial: Holidays which are not public or bank holidays (Deprecated)
Description: Unofficial holidays are deprecated and will be replaced by the other types over time.
