  /// The Date class is a derived class designed to manipulate dates. The 
  /// date computation is based on an modified proleptic gregorian calendar.
  /// This proleptic feature means that the actual calendar (gregorian) is 
  /// extended beyond year 1582 (its introduction year) and modified in order
  /// to support the year 0. This kind of calendar is somehow similar to the 
  /// astronomical gregorian calendar except that the reference date is 0 
  /// for the atc system (afnix time coordinated). This method presents the
  /// advantage to support negative time. It should be noted that the 0 
  /// reference does not means year 1BC since year 0 did not exist at that 
  /// time (the concept of zero is fairly new) and more important, the date 
  /// expressed in the form 1BC generally refers to the Julian calendar 
  /// since the date is before 1582. Although, the class provides several 
  /// methods to access the individual fields, it is also possible to get a
  /// string representation that conforms to ISO-8601 or to RFC-2822.
