    /**
     * @class Date
     *
     * Creates `Date` instances which let you work with dates and times.
     *
     * If you supply no arguments, the constructor creates a `Date` object for today's
     * date and time according to local time. If you supply some arguments but not
     * others, the missing arguments are set to 0. If you supply any arguments, you
     * must supply at least the year, month, and day. You can omit the hours, minutes,
     * seconds, and milliseconds.
     *
     * The date is measured in milliseconds since midnight 01 January, 1970 UTC. A day
     * holds 86,400,000 milliseconds. The `Date` object range is -100,000,000 days to
     * 100,000,000 days relative to 01 January, 1970 UTC.
     *
     * The `Date` object provides uniform behavior across platforms.
     *
     * The `Date` object supports a number of UTC (universal) methods, as well as
     * local time methods. UTC, also known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), refers to the
     * time as set by the World Time Standard. The local time is the time known to the
     * computer where JavaScript is executed.
     *
     * Invoking `Date` in a non-constructor context (i.e., without the `new` operator)
     * will return a string representing the current time.
     *
     * Note that `Date` objects can only be instantiated by calling `Date` or using it
     * as a constructor; unlike other JavaScript object types, `Date` objects have no
     * literal syntax.
     *
     * # Several ways to assign dates
     *
     * The following example shows several ways to assign dates:
     *
     *     today = new Date();
     *     birthday = new Date("December 19, 1989 03:24:00");
     *     birthday = new Date(1989,11,19);
     *     birthday = new Date(1989,11,17,3,24,0);
     *
     * # Calculating elapsed time
     *
     * The following examples show how to determine the elapsed time between two dates:
     *
     *     // using static methods
     *     var start = Date.now();
     *     // the event you'd like to time goes here:
     *     doSomethingForALongTime();
     *     var end = Date.now();
     *     var elapsed = end - start; // time in milliseconds
     *
     *     // if you have Date objects
     *     var start = new Date();
     *     // the event you'd like to time goes here:
     *     doSomethingForALongTime();
     *     var end = new Date();
     *     var elapsed = end.getTime() - start.getTime(); // time in milliseconds
     *
     *     // if you want to test a function and get back its return
     *     function printElapsedTime (fTest) {
     *         var nStartTime = Date.now(), vReturn = fTest(), nEndTime = Date.now();
     *         alert("Elapsed time: " + String(nEndTime - nStartTime) + "
     *         milliseconds");
     *         return vReturn;
     *     }
     *
     *     yourFunctionReturn = printElapsedTime(yourFunction);
     *
     * # ISO 8601 formatted dates
     *
     * The following example shows how to formate a date in an ISO 8601 format using
     * UTC:
     *
     *     // use a function for the exact format desired...
     *     function ISODateString(d){
     *     function pad(n){return n<10 ? '0'+n : n}
     *     return d.getUTCFullYear()+'-'
     *         + pad(d.getUTCMonth()+1)+'-'
     *         + pad(d.getUTCDate())+'T'
     *         + pad(d.getUTCHours())+':'
     *         + pad(d.getUTCMinutes())+':'
     *         + pad(d.getUTCSeconds())+'Z'}
     *
     *     var d = new Date();
     *     print(ISODateString(d)); // prints something like 2009-09-28T19:03:12Z

    //Methods

    /**
     * @method now
     * @static
     * Returns the numeric value corresponding to the current time.
     *
     * The `now` method returns the milliseconds elapsed since 1 January 1970 00:00:00 UTC up until now as

     *
     * When using `now` to create timestamps or unique IDs, keep in mind that the resolution may be 15

     *
     * @return {Number} Returns the number of milliseconds elapsed since 1 January 1970 00:00:00 UTC.
     */

    /**
     * @method parse
     * @static
     * Parses a string representation of a date, and returns the number of milliseconds
     * since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00, local time.
     *
     * The `parse` method takes a date string (such as `"Dec 25, 1995"`) and returns the number of
     * milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. The local time zone is used to interpret
     * arguments that do not contain time zone information. This function is useful for setting date
     * values based on string values, for example in conjunction with the `setTime` method and the
     * {@link Date} object.
     *
     * Given a string representing a time, parse returns the time value. It accepts the IETF standard (RFC
     * 1123 Section 5.2.14 and elsewhere) date syntax: `"Mon, 25 Dec 1995 13:30:00 GMT"`. It understands
     * the continental US time-zone abbreviations, but for general use, use a time-zone offset, for
     * example, `"Mon, 25 Dec 1995 13:30:00 GMT+0430"` (4 hours, 30 minutes east of the Greenwich
     * meridian). If you do not specify a time zone, the local time zone is assumed. GMT and UTC are
     * considered equivalent.
     *
     * ### Using parse
     *
     * If `IPOdate` is an existing `Date` object, then you can set it to August 9, 1995 (local time) as
     * follows:
     *
     *     IPOdate.setTime(Date.parse("Aug 9, 1995"));
     *
     * Some other examples:
     *
     *     // Returns 807937200000 in time zone GMT-0300, and other values in other
     *     // timezones, since the argument does not specify a time zone.
     *     Date.parse("Aug 9, 1995");
     *
     *     // Returns 807926400000 no matter the local time zone.
     *     Date.parse("Wed, 09 Aug 1995 00:00:00 GMT");
     *
     *     // Returns 807937200000 in timezone GMT-0300, and other values in other
     *     // timezones, since there is no time zone specifier in the argument.
     *     Date.parse("Wed, 09 Aug 1995 00:00:00");
     *
     *     // Returns 0 no matter the local time zone.
     *     Date.parse("Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT");
     *
     *     // Returns 14400000 in timezone GMT-0400, and other values in other
     *     // timezones, since there is no time zone specifier in the argument.
     *     Date.parse("Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00");
     *
     *     // Returns 14400000 no matter the local time zone.
     *     Date.parse("Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT-0400");
     *
     * @param {String} dateString A string representing a date.
     * @return {Number} Number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00, local time.
     */

    /**
     * @method UTC
     * @static
     * Accepts the same parameters as the longest form of the constructor, and returns
     * the number of milliseconds in a `Date` object since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00,
     * universal time.
     *
     * `UTC` takes comma-delimited date parameters and returns the number of milliseconds between January
     * 1, 1970, 00:00:00, universal time and the time you specified.
     *
     * You should specify a full year for the year; for example, 1998. If a year between 0 and 99 is
     * specified, the method converts the year to a year in the 20th century (1900 + year); for example,
     * if you specify 95, the year 1995 is used.
     *
     * The `UTC` method differs from the `Date` constructor in two ways.
     * *   `Date.UTC` uses universal time instead of the local time.
     * *   `Date.UTC` returns a time value as a number instead of creating a `Date` object.
     *
     * If a parameter you specify is outside of the expected range, the `UTC` method updates the other
     * parameters to allow for your number. For example, if you use 15 for month, the year will be
     * incremented by 1 (year + 1), and 3 will be used for the month.
     *
     * Because `UTC` is a static method of `Date`, you always use it as `Date.UTC()`, rather than as a
     * method of a `Date` object you created.
    *
     * The following statement creates a `Date` object using GMT instead of local time:
     *
     *     gmtDate = new Date(Date.UTC(96, 11, 1, 0, 0, 0));
     *
     * @param {Number} year A year after 1900.
     * @param {Number} month An integer between 0 and 11 representing the month.
     * @param {Number} date An integer between 1 and 31 representing the day of the month.
     * @param {Number} hrs An integer between 0 and 23 representing the hours.
     * @param {Number} min An integer between 0 and 59 representing the minutes.
     * @param {Number} sec An integer between 0 and 59 representing the seconds.
     * @param {Number} ms An integer between 0 and 999 representing the milliseconds.
     * @return {Number} Number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00, universal time.
