  //!Representation of timepoint at the one day level resolution.
  /*! 
    The date template represents an interface shell for a date class
    that is based on a year-month-day system such as the gregorian
    or iso systems.  It provides basic operations to enable calculation
    and comparisons.  

    <b>Theory</b>

    This date representation fundamentally departs from the C tm struct 
    approach.  The goal for this type is to provide efficient date
    operations (add, subtract) and storage (minimize space to represent)
    in a concrete class.  Thus, the date uses a count internally to
    represent a particular date.  The calendar parameter defines 
    the policies for converting the the year-month-day and internal
    counted form here.  Applications that need to perform heavy
    formatting of the same date repeatedly will perform better
    by using the year-month-day representation.
    
    Internally the date uses a day number to represent the date.
    This is a monotonic time representation. This representation 
    allows for fast comparison as well as simplifying
    the creation of writing numeric operations.  Essentially, the 
    internal day number is like adjusted julian day.  The adjustment
    is determined by the Epoch date which is represented as day 1 of
    the calendar.  Day 0 is reserved for negative infinity so that
    any actual date is automatically greater than negative infinity.
    When a date is constructed from a date or formatted for output,
    the appropriate conversions are applied to create the year, month,
    day representations.
