some SwapRateHelper constructors take the iborIndex as input, others
take the swapIndex which would have to be created with the appropriate

it does not matter as long as it is a strictly monotonically

Besides using something like act/365 allow to to easily invert the
date->time mapping, and this can be handy in some circumstances
