Description

This class is the primary interface for programming with greogorian dates. The is a lightweight type that can be freely passed by value. All comparison operators are supported.

`date` public construct/copy/destruct

```
date();
```
Default constructor constructs with not_a_date_time.

date(year_type y, month_type m, day_type d);

Main constructor with year, month, day.

```
explicit date(const ymd_type & ymd);
```
Constructor from a ymd_type structure.

explicit date(const date_int_type & rhs);

Needed copy constructor.

```
explicit date(date_rep_type rhs);
```
Needed copy constructor.
```
explicit date(special_values sv);
```
Constructor for infinities, not a date, max and min date.

`date` public member functions

```
date_int_type julian_day() const;
```
Return the Julian Day number for the date.
```
day_of_year_type day_of_year() const;
```
Return the day of year 1..365 or 1..366 (for leap year)
```
date_int_type modjulian_day() const;
```
Return the Modified Julian Day number for the date.
```
int week_number() const;
```
Return the iso 8601 week number 1..53.
```
date_int_type day_number() const;
```
Return the day number from the calendar.
```
date end_of_month() const;
