What if they manually type today's date in its entirety?  Do you still want 
that to be changed to the last day of the month?

Would it suffice to say "if it's today's date, leave it, otherwise make it 
the last day of that month"?

First, @SK will never equal "/".  Second, the last key the user pressed was 
probably Enter and not "/".
