Summary: add Delay Days to FixedRateLeg
Initial Comment:
We have a need to create a FixedRateCoupon with the payment date that is different from the end date. For example, we created a mortgage bond with a starting coupon that has a start date of March 1st, 2009, a end date of April 1st, 2009, and a payment date of April 15th, 2009. The rest of the coupons of the bond follow the same pattern for its dates. To create the coupons, I had to added a delayDays_ variable to the FixedRateLeg class. delayDays_ is set to zero by default. Also, a withDelayDays method was added to the class. I also change the Leg() operator to take advance of the delayDays_ variable.

Message:
We should use days. The payment day is a certain day of the month. Another
example could be the (end date = April 1st, payment date = April 11 or even
April 10)

Message:
Is a number of days enough? For instance, in your example (end date = April
1st, payment date = April 15th) shouldn't the delay be 2 weeks instead to
keep following the pattern in later years? If you were to write it as 8
days (which are those required to get from the 1st to the 15th this year,
due to Easter) you'd find yourself going from April 1st to April 13th in
2011.
Shouldn't we use a Period instead?
