/*
  The three (main) classes declared in this header represent:

  1. An absolute moment in the time (wxDateTime)
  2. A difference between two moments in the time, positive or negative
     (wxTimeSpan)
  3. A logical difference between two dates expressed in
     years/months/weeks/days (wxDateSpan)

  The following arithmetic operations are permitted (all others are not):

  addition
  --------

  wxDateTime + wxTimeSpan = wxDateTime
  wxDateTime + wxDateSpan = wxDateTime
  wxTimeSpan + wxTimeSpan = wxTimeSpan
  wxDateSpan + wxDateSpan = wxDateSpan

  subtraction
  ------------
  wxDateTime - wxDateTime = wxTimeSpan
  wxDateTime - wxTimeSpan = wxDateTime
  wxDateTime - wxDateSpan = wxDateTime
  wxTimeSpan - wxTimeSpan = wxTimeSpan
  wxDateSpan - wxDateSpan = wxDateSpan

  multiplication
  --------------
  wxTimeSpan * number = wxTimeSpan
  number * wxTimeSpan = wxTimeSpan
  wxDateSpan * number = wxDateSpan
  number * wxDateSpan = wxDateSpan

  unitary minus
  -------------
  -wxTimeSpan = wxTimeSpan
  -wxDateSpan = wxDateSpan

  For each binary operation OP (+, -, *) we have the following operatorOP=() as
  a method and the method with a symbolic name OPER (Add, Subtract, Multiply)
  as a synonym for it and another const method with the same name which returns
  the changed copy of the object and operatorOP() as a global function which is
  implemented in terms of the const version of OPEN. For the unary - we have
  operator-() as a method, Neg() as synonym for it and Negate() which returns
  the copy of the object with the changed sign.
