/**
* Split a date interval into `n` equal-length sub-intervals.
*
* - Returns an array of `n` `{ start, end }` records that tile the original interval, each
* record's `end` equal to the next record's `start`.
* - `PlainDate` has no fractional-day representation, so each internal boundary is rounded to
* the nearest whole day — when `totalDays` isn't evenly divisible by `n`, the resulting
* sub-intervals differ by at most one day rather than being mathematically exact.
* - `n === 1` returns the original interval unchanged, as a single-element array.
* - A zero-length interval (`start === end`) returns `n` identical zero-length sub-intervals.
* - Returns `[]` when `n` is not a positive integer, or on invalid input (unparseable
* start/end, `start > end`).
* - Accepts GMT calendar-annotated PlainDate strings — E5 (issue #78). `start` and `end` must
* carry the *same* calendar tag (or both be bare ISO); a mismatch returns `[]` (E5 decision
* of record D4). Internal boundaries are computed in whole days (calendar-independent), then
* re-formatted in the shared calendar.
*
* @param start ISO PlainDate string for the interval start, optionally calendar-annotated
* @param end ISO PlainDate string for the interval end, optionally calendar-annotated
* @param n number of equal sub-intervals to produce (positive integer)
* @returns array of `n` `{ start, end }` records, or `[]` on invalid input / mismatched calendars
*
* @example intervalDivideEquallyDate("2024-01-01", "2024-01-05", 4) // [{ start: "2024-01-01", end: "2024-01-02" }, { start: "2024-01-02", end: "2024-01-03" }, { start: "2024-01-03", end: "2024-01-04" }, { start: "2024-01-04", end: "2024-01-05" }]
* @example intervalDivideEquallyDate("2024-01-01", "2024-01-10", 3) // [{ start: "2024-01-01", end: "2024-01-04" }, { start: "2024-01-04", end: "2024-01-07" }, { start: "2024-01-07", end: "2024-01-10" }]
* @example intervalDivideEquallyDate("2024-01-01", "2024-01-10", 1) // [{ start: "2024-01-01", end: "2024-01-10" }]
* @example intervalDivideEquallyDate("2024-01-01", "2024-01-01", 3) // [{ start: "2024-01-01", end: "2024-01-01" }, { start: "2024-01-01", end: "2024-01-01" }, { start: "2024-01-01", end: "2024-01-01" }]
* @example intervalDivideEquallyDate("2024-01-01", "2024-01-10", 0) // []
* @example intervalDivideEquallyDate("invalid", "2024-01-10", 3) // []
