/**
 * @file
 *
 * This header provides functions to handle Gregorian calendar dates and times.
 *
 * The data type used through the module to represent a date is an int[6],
 * containing:
 * \l year
 * \l month (starting from 1)
 * \l day of month (starting from 1)
 * \l hour
 * \l minute
 * \l second
 *
 * The int[6] array does not need to be completely filled, and any value except
 * for the year can be left missing, with the value of -1.  However, if a
 * value is set to -1, all the following values in the array must also be -1.
 * For example, 'March 2008' can be represented as { 2008, 3, -1, -1, -1, -1 },
 * but something like { 2008, 3, -1, 12, -1, -1 } is not a valid date, as there
 * can only be the value -1 after the first -1.
 *
 * The date+time in the int[6] array is always stored in UTC: the module does
 * not attempt to work with timezones or daylight saving.
 *
 * The full range of the Gregorian calendar is accepted, so years like 1789
 * will work fine, although pay extra attention if you are comparing historical
 * events of countries that adopted the Gregorian calendar in different times,
 * like Russia or Greece.
 *
 * Some functions work with the time of day only: those functions will work
 * with int[3] parameters.  The time of the day can also have missing values,
 * with the same rules as the int[6] dates: this is midday: { 12, -1, -1 }, but
 * this is not valid: { 12, -1, 30 }.  However, in the case of int[3] times the
 * hour can also be missing, so { -1, -1, -1 } is a valid time.
 *
 * Some function represent the time as a single integer: that is intended to be
 * the number of seconds after the start of the day.  Therefore, midnight would
 * be 0, and midday would be 43200 (12*3600).

 * \l normalise({2007, 1, -364, 0, 0, 0}) gives {2006, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0}
 * \l normalise({2007, 1, 366, 0, 0, 0}) gives {2008, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0}
 * \l normalise({2009, 1, -364, 0, 0, 0}) gives {2008, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0}, because
 *    2008 is a leap year
 * \l normalise({2008, 1, 1, 0, 0, -3600}) gives {2007, 12, 31, 23, 0, 0}
