But there is no jump at Oct 5 1582 either because all previous

That's what's needed only when the question is, "How many days ago was that event?" This is not all that a calendar _conversion_ program can provide (mine uses such extrapolations too when needed).
When converting a calendar date recorded in some old source in Gregorian or Julian or whatever, to another calendar in use elsewhere to get an idea it was simultaneously with what events in those other places, this use of GC (i.e. extrapolated backward) can't be readily used.
