It should, if you're passing it an USDLibor instance (the latter
calculates fixing dates based on both UK and US holidays, as specified
for LIBOR.)  Do you have a counterexample?

Not at this time.  If you wrote a quadratic interpolation with the same
interface as the existing ones (linear, cubic etc.---you can look at the
ql/math/interpolations folder) then you'll be able to plug it in the
piecewise curve.
