/**
 * <p>A suite of utilities surrounding the use of the
 * {@link java.util.Calendar} and {@link java.util.Date} object.</p>
 * 
 * <p>DateUtils contains a lot of common methods considering manipulations
 * of Dates or Calendars. Some methods require some extra explanation.
 * The truncate, ceiling and round methods could be considered the Math.floor(),
 * Math.ceil() or Math.round versions for dates
 * This way date-fields will be ignored in bottom-up order.
 * As a complement to these methods we've introduced some fragment-methods.
 * With these methods the Date-fields will be ignored in top-down order.
 * Since a date without a year is not a valid date, you have to decide in what
 * kind of date-field you want your result, for instance milliseconds or days.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Several methods are provided for adding to {@code Date} objects, of the form 
 * {@code addXXX(Date date, int amount)}. It is important to note these methods 
 * use a {@code Calendar} internally (with default timezone and locale) and may
 * be affected by changes to daylight saving time (DST).
 * </p>
