        These functions convert wxDateTime objects to and from text. The
        conversions to text are mostly trivial: you can either do it using the default
        date and time representations for the current locale (
        FormatDate() and
        wxDateTime::FormatTime), using the international standard
        representation defined by ISO 8601 (
        FormatISODate(),
        FormatISOTime() and
        wxDateTime::FormatISOCombined) or by specifying any
        format at all and using Format() directly.
        The conversions from text are more interesting, as there are much more
        possibilities to care about. The simplest cases can be taken care of with
        ParseFormat() which can parse any date in the
        given (rigid) format. wxDateTime::ParseRfc822Date is
        another function for parsing dates in predefined format -- the one of RFC 822
        which (still...) defines the format of email messages on the Internet. This
        format can not be described with @c strptime(3)-like format strings used by
        Format(), hence the need for a separate function.
        But the most interesting functions are
        ParseTime(),
        ParseDate() and
        ParseDateTime(). They try to parse the date
        ans time (or only one of them) in 'free' format, i.e. allow them to be
        specified in any of possible ways. These functions will usually be used to
        parse the (interactive) user input which is not bound to be in any predefined
        format. As an example, ParseDateTime() can
        parse the strings such as @c "tomorrow", @c "March first" and even
        @c "next Sunday".
        Finally notice that each of the parsing functions is available in several
        overloads: if the input string is a narrow (@c char *) string, then a
        narrow pointer is returned. If the input string is a wide string, a wide char
        pointer is returned. Finally, if the input parameter is a wxString, a narrow
        char pointer is also returned for backwards compatibility but there is also an
        additional argument of wxString::const_iterator type in which, if it is not
        @NULL, an iterator pointing to the end of the scanned string part is returned.

/**
    @class wxDateSpan
    @wxheader{datetime.h}

    This class is a "logical time span" and is useful for implementing program
    logic for such things as "add one month to the date" which, in general,
    doesn't mean to add 60*60*24*31 seconds to it, but to take the same date
    the next month (to understand that this is indeed different consider adding
    one month to Feb, 15 -- we want to get Mar, 15, of course).

    When adding a month to the date, all lesser components (days, hours, ...)
    won't be changed unless the resulting date would be invalid: for example,
    Jan 31 + 1 month will be Feb 28, not (non-existing) Feb 31.

    Because of this feature, adding and subtracting back again the same
    wxDateSpan will @b not, in general give back the original date: Feb 28 - 1
    month will be Jan 28, not Jan 31!

    wxDateSpan objects can be either positive or negative. They may be
    multiplied by scalars which multiply all deltas by the scalar: i.e.
    2*(1  month and  1  day) is 2 months and 2 days. They can
    be added together and with wxDateTime or
    wxTimeSpan, but the type of result is different for each
    case.

    Beware about weeks: if you specify both weeks and days, the total number of
    days added will be 7*weeks + days! See also GetTotalDays()
    function.

    Equality operators are defined for wxDateSpans. Two datespans are equal if
    and only if they both give the same target date when added to @b every
    source date. Thus wxDateSpan::Months(1) is not equal to wxDateSpan::Days(30),
    because they don't give the same date when added to 1 Feb. But
    wxDateSpan::Days(14) is equal to wxDateSpan::Weeks(2)

    Finally, notice that for adding hours, minutes and so on you don't need this
    class at all: wxTimeSpan will do the job because there
    are no subtleties associated with those (we don't support leap seconds).

        span, which would be 2 in this case as 50 hours is equal to 2 days and

        indeed, the @c %D format specified preceding the @c %H, then it is
        interpreted as 2. Otherwise, it is 50.
        The same applies to all other format specifiers: if they follow a specifier of
