There is no RQuantMod we know of but yes, Khanh just yesterday committed a
few more date functions to the SVN for RQuantLib so maybe this may be of
help.  [1] 

These date conventions do exist in QuantLib --- and AFAIK are already used
for some curve-building code --- so maybe we just need to sit down and
expose them.
