/*
* date and datetime class - Tadayoshi Funaba 1998-2011
*
* 'date' provides two classes: Date and DateTime.
*
* == Terms and Definitions
*
* Some terms and definitions are based on ISO 8601 and JIS X 0301.
*
* === Calendar Date
*
* The calendar date is a particular day of a calendar year,
* identified by its ordinal number within a calendar month within
* that year.
*
* In those classes, this is so-called "civil".
*
* === Ordinal Date
*
* The ordinal date is a particular day of a calendar year identified
* by its ordinal number within the year.
*
* In those classes, this is so-called "ordinal".
* \Class \Date provides methods for storing and manipulating
* calendar dates.
*
* === Week Date
* Consider using
* {class Time}[https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/Time.html]
* instead of class \Date if:
*
* The week date is a date identified by calendar week and day numbers.
* - You need both dates and times; \Date handles only dates.
* - You need only Gregorian dates (and not Julian dates);
* see {Julian and Gregorian Calendars}[rdoc-ref:calendars.rdoc].
*
* The calendar week is a seven day period within a calendar year,
* starting on a Monday and identified by its ordinal number within
* the year; the first calendar week of the year is the one that
* includes the first Thursday of that year. In the Gregorian
* calendar, this is equivalent to the week which includes January 4.
* A \Date object, once created, is immutable, and cannot be modified.
*
* In those classes, this is so-called "commercial".
* == Creating a \Date
*
* === Julian Day Number
* You can create a date for the current date, using Date.today:
*
* The Julian day number is in elapsed days since noon (Greenwich Mean
* Time) on January 1, 4713 BCE (in the Julian calendar).
* Date.today # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
*
* In this document, the astronomical Julian day number is the same as
* the original Julian day number. And the chronological Julian day
* number is a variation of the Julian day number. Its days begin at
* midnight on local time.
* You can create a specific date from various combinations of arguments:
*
* In this document, when the term "Julian day number" simply appears,
* it just refers to "chronological Julian day number", not the
* original.
* - Date.new takes integer year, month, and day-of-month:
*
* In those classes, those are so-called "ajd" and "jd".
* Date.new(1999, 12, 31) # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
*
* === Modified Julian Day Number
* - Date.ordinal takes integer year and day-of-year:
*
* The modified Julian day number is in elapsed days since midnight
* (Coordinated Universal Time) on November 17, 1858 CE (in the
* Gregorian calendar).
* Date.ordinal(1999, 365) # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
*
* In this document, the astronomical modified Julian day number is
* the same as the original modified Julian day number. And the
* chronological modified Julian day number is a variation of the
* modified Julian day number. Its days begin at midnight on local
* time.
* - Date.jd takes integer Julian day:
*
* In this document, when the term "modified Julian day number" simply
* appears, it just refers to "chronological modified Julian day
* number", not the original.
* Date.jd(2451544) # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
*
* In those classes, those are so-called "amjd" and "mjd".
* - Date.commercial takes integer commercial data (year, week, day-of-week):
*
* == Date
* Date.commercial(1999, 52, 5) # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
*
* A subclass of Object that includes the Comparable module and
* easily handles date.
* - Date.parse takes a string, which it parses heuristically:
*
* A Date object is created with Date::new, Date::jd, Date::ordinal,
* Date::commercial, Date::parse, Date::strptime, Date::today,
* Time#to_date, etc.
* Date.parse('1999-12-31') # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
* Date.parse('31-12-1999') # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
* Date.parse('1999-365') # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
* Date.parse('1999-W52-5') # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
*
* require 'date'
*
* Date.new(2001,2,3)
* #=> #<Date: 2001-02-03 ...>
* Date.jd(2451944)
* #=> #<Date: 2001-02-03 ...>
* Date.ordinal(2001,34)
* #=> #<Date: 2001-02-03 ...>
* Date.commercial(2001,5,6)
* #=> #<Date: 2001-02-03 ...>
* Date.parse('2001-02-03')
* #=> #<Date: 2001-02-03 ...>
* Date.strptime('03-02-2001', '%d-%m-%Y')
* #=> #<Date: 2001-02-03 ...>
* Time.new(2001,2,3).to_date
* #=> #<Date: 2001-02-03 ...>
*
* All date objects are immutable; hence cannot modify themselves.
* - Date.strptime takes a date string and a format string,
* then parses the date string according to the format string:
*
* The concept of a date object can be represented as a tuple
* of the day count, the offset and the day of calendar reform.
* Date.strptime('1999-12-31', '%Y-%m-%d') # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
* Date.strptime('31-12-1999', '%d-%m-%Y') # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
* Date.strptime('1999-365', '%Y-%j') # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
* Date.strptime('1999-W52-5', '%G-W%V-%u') # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
* Date.strptime('1999 52 5', '%Y %U %w') # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
* Date.strptime('1999 52 5', '%Y %W %u') # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
* Date.strptime('fri31dec99', '%a%d%b%y') # => #<Date: 1999-12-31>
*
* The day count denotes the absolute position of a temporal
* dimension. The offset is relative adjustment, which determines
* decoded local time with the day count. The day of calendar
* reform denotes the start day of the new style. The old style
* of the West is the Julian calendar which was adopted by
* Caesar. The new style is the Gregorian calendar, which is the
* current civil calendar of many countries.
*
* The day count is virtually the astronomical Julian day number.
* The offset in this class is usually zero, and cannot be
* specified directly.
*
* A Date object can be created with an optional argument,
* the day of calendar reform as a Julian day number, which
* should be 2298874 to 2426355 or negative/positive infinity.
* The default value is +Date::ITALY+ (2299161=1582-10-15).
* See also sample/cal.rb.
* See also the specialized methods in
* {Standard Format Strings}[rdoc-ref:Date@Standard+Format+Strings].
