/*
* The Date intrinsic class stores a date-and-time value representing a
* particular point in time, and provides methods and operators for date
* arithmetic, formatting, and parsing.
*
* The date/time value is stored internally in terms of universal time
* (UTC). This makes it independent of locations and time zones. When a
* new Date object is created for a given calendar day or clock time, that
* source value is assumed to be in terms of the local wall clock time of
* the machine it's running on, but a different time zone can be explicitly
* specified instead; the Date object automatically translates that local
* time value to UTC for storage. Likewise, when a Date is formatted to a
* string representation, or when calendar or clock components are
* extracted from it, the formatted or extracted value is translated by
* default to the local time zone, but a different time zone can be
* specified.
*
* You can create a Date object from a number of other representations for
* date values:
*
*. new Date() - creates a Date representing the current date and time.
*
*. new Date('string', refTZ?, refDate?) - parses the string as a date
*. value. 'refTZ' is an optional TimeZone object; if provided,
*. the date string will be interpreted as a local time in that
*. zone, unless the string contains a timezone specifier. The
*. default timezone if 'refTZ' is missing is the local system's
*. time zone. 'refDate' is an optional Date object that's used
*. to fill in certain missing date elements in the string. If
*. the string doesn't specify the year (e.g., 'March 1'), the
*. year is taken from refDate; if the string only specifies only
*. a time, the date is taken from refDate. If the date uses a
*. two-digit year number ('5/15/92'), the century is inferred
*. from the reference date by finding the year closest to the
*. reference year (for example, if it's currently 2012, '92' is
*. interpreted as 1992, since that's closer to 2012 than is
*. 2092). The date parser accepts numerous common human-readable
*. formats and several standard computer formats. For a full
*. list of, see the System Manual. The parser uses the locale
*. settings from setLocaleInfo() to match month names, weekday
*. names, etc; the default settings are for US English format.
*
*. new Date(number, 'J') - 'number' can be an integer or a BigNumber.
*. This creates a Date object representing the given number of
*. days after January 1, 4713 BCE on the Julian calendar, at
*. noon UTC. The fractional part is the fraction of a day
*. past noon; for example, a fractional portion of 0.25
*. represents 1/4 of a day, or 6 hours, so it represents a
*. clock time of 18:00 UTC (6 hours past noon).
*
*. new Date(number, 'U') - 'number' can be an integer or a BigNumber.
*. This creates a Date object representing the given number of
*. seconds after standard Unix Epoch (1/1/1970 00:00:00 UTC),
*. or before the Epoch if the value is negative. If 'number'
*. is a BigNumber, it can specify fractions of a second, which
*. the Date object will round to the nearest milliseconds.
*. This constructor format is provided because "seconds since
*. 1/1/1970" is the standard representation of time on Unix-like
*. systems, and as a result it's also common in file formats.
*
*. new Date(year, month, day, tz?) - midnight on year/month/day (all
*. given as integers), in the given local time zone 'tz' (given
*. as a TimeZone object or a string giving a time zone name).
*. The default time zone if 'tz' is omitted is the system's
*. local time zone. The year must be given as the full year
*. with century, e.g., 2012, not just 12; the latter is valid
*. but is taken literally as the first-century year 12. The
*. month is 1-12 for January to December. The day is simply
*. the calendar day of the month (e.g., 5 for January 5). The
*. year can zero or negative. Note that because year 0 is a
*. valid year in Date's calendar system, negative years are off
*. by one from the "BC" convention: in the AD/BC convention,
*. the year before AD 1 is 1 BC, not AD 0; so on our calendar,
*. year 0 corresponds to 1 BC, -1 is 2 BC, etc.
*
*. new Date(year, month, day, hour, minute, seconds, ms, tz?) - the
*. given date and time value, with each element as an integer.
*. The value is in terms of the given local time zone 'tz',
*. or the system's local time zone if 'tz' is omitted. 'ms'
*. is the number of milliseconds (0-999).
*
* Date arithmetic: the following operators perform calendar calculations
* on the date value:
*
*. Date + integer - add days to the date
*. Date - integer - subtract days from date
*. Date + BigNumber - add days (which can include fractional days)
*. Date - BigNumber - subtract days (which can include fractional days)
*. Date - Date - number of days between dates (with fractional days)
*
* Adding an integer or BigNumber returns a new Date object representing
* the result; Date objects are immutable, so the original Date value isn't
* changed by the operation.
*
* Subtracting one Date from another yields a BigNumber with the difference
* in days between the two dates. Note that this might have a fractional
* part, because the difference might not be whole days; for example,
* subtracting 13:00 from 19:00 on the same day yields 0.25, which is 1/4
* of a 24-hour day, or 6 hours.. Like all Date arithmetic, subtraction
* works in universal time, so the subtraction yields the true time
* difference between the events even if they were created from times in
* different time zones. For example, subtracting 1 PM Eastern Time from 1
* PM Pacific Time on the same day yields 0.125 (1/8 of a day, or 3 hours).
*
* The comparison operators (< > <= >=) compare two Date values by order of
* occurrence in time. For example, a > b is true if a is later than b.
* The comparison is done in universal time, so the comparison yields the
* actual event order, not the nominal local time order. For example, 2 PM
* Eastern Time is earlier than 1 PM Pacific Time on any given day.
*
* Time zone specifications: when a time zone is specified in a constructor
* or method argument, you can supply a TimeZone object, or a string with
* the name of a time zone, using the same formats that the TimeZone
* constructor accepts. See the TimeZone object for more information. The
* default if you don't specify a time zone is
*

/*
* TimeZone intrinsic class. A TimeZone object represents a location entry
* in the IANA zoneinfo database. It contains information on the
* location's wall clock time settings relative to universal time (UTC),
* allowing translations between local wall clock time and UTC. The object
* stores the current clock settings in the location, the current ongoing
* rules for future switches between standard and daylight time (if
* applicable in the zone), and a full history of the past changes to the
* location's time settings, including standard/daylight time changes,
* redefinitions of the time zone, and changes in the location from one
* time zone to another. (For example, some US cities that lie near zone
* borders have switched their time zones at various points in their
* history.) The historical information for most zones goes back to the
* original establishment of standard time zones, typically in the late
* 19th century, and for dates before that, the history usually includes
* the Local Mean Time settings for the location. The history information
* allows the accurate reconstruction of the local time representation for
* virtually any date and time in the past, present, or future.
*
* Construction:
*
*. new TimeZone() - creates a TimeZone object representing the local
*. system time zone. Note that a TimeZone object created this way
*. will always represent the local zone. If the game is saved on
*. one machine and restored on another that uses a different local
*. time zone, the restored object will represent the new machine's
*. local time zone after the restore.
*
*. new TimeZone(integer) - creates a TimeZone object representing the
*. given offset from UTC, in seconds. Positive values are east of
*. UTC, negative values are west; for example, Pacific Standard
*. Time is 8 hours west of UTC, so you'd use -8*60*60 as the offset.
*. This type of TimeZone represents a fixed offset
*
*. new TimeZone('name') - creates a TimeZone object for the given zone
*. name. This can use a number of formats:
*.
*. 'America/New_York' - a name from the IANA zoneinfo database.
*. This is the best way to specify a zone because it's
*. unambiguous.
*.
*. 'Z', 'UTC' - UTC (Universal Time Coordinated, also sometimes
*. called GMT/Greenwich Mean Time, or Z/Zulu time)
*
*. 'EST' - a colloquial English abbreviation for a local time
*. zone. Many of these are ambiguous, since some zone names
*. are used in several different regions. For example,
*. 'CST' is used in the US, Brazil, Australia, and China,
*. for time zones at different offsets from UTC. When the
*. name is ambiguous, we use a fixed mapping that tends to
*. favor zones in the US and Europe. This format is mapped
*. to a zoneinfo entry, so the actual underlying zone will
*. be one of the location-based entries. For example, 'EST'
*. is mapped to 'America/New_York'. This is important
*. because it means that the TimeZone object uses the full
*. rule set and history for the mapped zone, which might
*. differ from the history of the same nominal zone in other
*. locations; e.g., 'America/New_York' and 'Canada/Montreal'
*. are both on Eastern Time, but they have some differences
*. in their historical daylight savings rules.
*
*. 'PST8PDT' - a POSIX TZ-style string, with the standard time
*. abbreviation, the standard time offset in hours (and
*. optionally minutes and seconds, with colons), the daylight
*. time abbreviation, and optionally the daylight time
*. offset (which defaults to one hour ahead of standard
*. time when not specified). This is somewhat less ambiguous
*. than using just the zone abbreviation, but is still
*
*. '+0430' or 'UTC+0430' - four hours thirty minutes east of UTC;
*. this can also be written as '+4:30' or '+4:30:00'. For a
*. whole number of hours, you can write it as simply '+4', for
*. example. A negative number is west of UTC; e.g., Pacific
*. Standard Time is '-8'. When using this format, the zone
*. represents a fixed time offset from UTC; it's not tied to
*. any location or named time zone, and doesn't use daylight
*. savings time.
*
* Note that the commonly used time zone names (e.g., PST, or Pacific
* Standard Time) aren't allowed. The standard time zone names are
* ambiguous; for example, CST refers to at least four different time zones
* (USA Central Standard Time, Australia Central Standard Time, China
* Standard Time, and Cuba Summer Time).

* abbr], where 'date' is a Date object giving the starting date when
* the history item took effect; 'offset' is the offset from UTC in
* milliseconds of standard time in the zone during this period, using
* the zoneinfo convention that positive values are east of GMT; 'save'
* is the additional time added if daylight savings is in effect during

* location. The last item represents the last pre-computed history
* entry, which is sometimes in the future; further transitions after
* this item might occur if the zone has ongoing rules.
*
* In many cases, the history list contains a number of periods that
* could have been inferred from the ongoing rules, so strictly
* speaking they don't need to be enumerated in the history. When
* they're included, it's for faster run-time lookup. TADS
* pre-computes rule-based transitions up to the present and a few
* years into the future, since history-based lookups are much faster
* than applying the rules. We expect that the typical program will
* mostly work with dates close to the present time, so we pre-compute
* transitions for a few years into the future to speed things up for
* the typical case. For changes after the last enumerated entry, TADS
* applies the rules, so transitions in the far future will be
* correctly figured when needed.

/*
* Get the ongoing rules that are in effect after the last enumerated
* history item. This returns a list of the rules for future changes
* to the zone; each rule fires once annually, and encodes the day of

* the rule fires. Virtually all zones that use ongoing rules have
* exactly two: one for the annual change to daylight savings time in
* the spring, and one for the return to standard time in the fall.
* Each rule's firing date is specified in an abstract format designed
* to handle the variety of regional daylight savings schemes: "last
* Sunday in March", "second Sunday in November", "January 15", etc.
*
* Each rule in the list is described by a sublist: [abbr, offset,
* save, when, mm, typ, dd, wkday, time, zone]. 'abbr' is a string
* with the time zone abbreviation while the rule is in effect; most
* zones use one abbreviation for standard time and another for
* daylight time, so each rule tells us the abbreviation to use while
* the rule is in effect. 'offset' is the standard time GMT offset, in
* milliseconds, while the rule is in effect, and 'save' is the
* additional offset for daylight savings time - so the full offset
* while the rule is in effect is offset+save. 'when' is a string with
* a human-readable description of the firing date: this will be of the
* form 'Mar last Sun' (for the last Sunday in March), 'Mar Sun>=1' for
* the first Sunday in March on or after March 1, 'Mar Sun<=28' for the
* last Sunday in March on or before March 28, 'Mar 7' for March 7, or
* 'DOY 72' for the 72nd day of the year. Next we have the same firing
* date information in a more computer-friendly format: 'mm' is the
* month number, 1-12 for Jan-Dec; 'typ' is an integer giving the type
* of date specification (0 for a fixed day of the month 'mm/dd', 1 for
* the last <weekday> of month <mm>, 2 for the first <weekday> of month
* <mm> on or after day <dd>, and 3 for the last <weekday> of month
* <mm> on or before day <dd>), 'dd' is the day of the month (which is
* ignored if 'typ' is 1), 'wkday' is the day of the week, 1-7 for
* Sunday-Saturday (which is ignored if 'typ' is 0). 'time' is the
* time of day the rule goes into effect, as milliseconds after
* midnight. 'zone' is a code for the timezone used to interpret the
* date and time; this is usually 'w' for local wall clock time (in
* other words, the local time zone that was in effect up until the
* moment this rule takes effect - so if this is a daylight savings
* rule, the rule is stated in terms of local standard time, and vice
