# * various formats handled by Date._parse
# * custom formats handled by Date._strptime
-#
-# == Examples
-#
-# All examples assume you have loaded Time with:
-#
-# require 'time'
-#
-# All of these examples were done using the EST timezone which is GMT-5.
-#
-# === Converting to a String
-#
-# t = Time.now
-# t.iso8601 # => "2011-10-05T22:26:12-04:00"
-# t.rfc2822 # => "Wed, 05 Oct 2011 22:26:12 -0400"
-# t.httpdate # => "Thu, 06 Oct 2011 02:26:12 GMT"
-#
-# === Time.parse
-#
-# #parse takes a string representation of a Time and attempts to parse it
-# using a heuristic.
-#
-# Time.parse("2010-10-31") #=> 2010-10-31 00:00:00 -0500
-#
-# Any missing pieces of the date are inferred based on the current date.
-#
-# # assuming the current date is "2011-10-31"
-# Time.parse("12:00") #=> 2011-10-31 12:00:00 -0500
-#
-# We can change the date used to infer our missing elements by passing a second
-# object that responds to #mon, #day and #year, such as Date, Time or DateTime.
-# We can also use our own object.
-#
-# class MyDate
-# attr_reader :mon, :day, :year
-#
-# def initialize(mon, day, year)
-# @mon, @day, @year = mon, day, year
-# end
-# end
-#
-# d = Date.parse("2010-10-28")
-# t = Time.parse("2010-10-29")
-# dt = DateTime.parse("2010-10-30")
-# md = MyDate.new(10,31,2010)
-#
-# Time.parse("12:00", d) #=> 2010-10-28 12:00:00 -0500
-# Time.parse("12:00", t) #=> 2010-10-29 12:00:00 -0500
-# Time.parse("12:00", dt) #=> 2010-10-30 12:00:00 -0500
-# Time.parse("12:00", md) #=> 2010-10-31 12:00:00 -0500
-#
-# #parse also accepts an optional block. You can use this block to specify how
-# to handle the year component of the date. This is specifically designed for
-# handling two digit years. For example, if you wanted to treat all two digit
-# years prior to 70 as the year 2000+ you could write this:
-#
-# Time.parse("01-10-31") {|year| year + (year < 70 ? 2000 : 1900)}
-# #=> 2001-10-31 00:00:00 -0500
-# Time.parse("70-10-31") {|year| year + (year < 70 ? 2000 : 1900)}
-# #=> 1970-10-31 00:00:00 -0500
-#
-# === Time.strptime
-#
-# #strptime works similar to +parse+ except that instead of using a heuristic
-# to detect the format of the input string, you provide a second argument that
-# describes the format of the string. For example:
-#
-# Time.strptime("2000-10-31", "%Y-%m-%d") #=> 2000-10-31 00:00:00 -0500
