Does a given Julian Day Number fall inside the old-style (Julian) calendar?

jd is the Julian Day Number in question. sg may be Date::GREGORIAN, in which case the answer is false; it may be Date::JULIAN, in which case the answer is true; or it may a number representing the Day of Calendar Reform. Date::ENGLAND and Date::ITALY are two possible such days.
