<!-- synopsis -->
254
The <code>Date</code> is a derived class designed to manipulate
255
dates. The date computation is based on an <em>modified proleptic
256
gregorian</em> calendar. This proleptic feature means that the
257
actual calendar (gregorian) is extended beyond year 1582 (its
258
introduction year) and modified in order to support the year
259
0. This kind of calendar is somehow similar to the astronomical
260
gregorian calendar except that the reference date is 0 for the ATC
261
system -- <afnix/> time coordinated--. This method presents the
262
advantage to support negative time. It should be noted that the 0
263
reference does not means year 1BC since year 0 did not exist at that
264
time (the concept of zero is fairly new) and more important, the date
265
expressed in the form 1BC generally refers to the Julian calendar
266
since the date is before 1582. Although, the class provides several
267
methods to access the individual fields, it is also possible to get a
268
string representation that conforms to ISO-8601 or to
269
RFC-2822. With 1 argument, the date is initialized with the time
270
clock specified as an integer argument. With 3 or 6 arguments, the
271
date is expressed with its different elements.

it is recommended to use the <code>get-unique-option</code>
685
method. The first argument is the option character to use for
686
the string retrieval.

695
The <code>get-vector-option</code> method returns the vector
696
associated with a vector option. The first argument is the
697
option character to use for the vector retrieval.
702
<name>get-vector-arguments</name>
706
The <code>get-vector-arguments</code> method returns the vector
707
arguments built during the parsing process.
595
The <code>reset</code> method resets the object data structure
596
but do not remove the option descriptors. After a reset operation, the
597
class is ready to parse another string vector.
606
The <code>usage</code> method prints a usage message with a user
607
message and a one line description per option.
608
removing all messages.
617
The <code>parse</code> method parse a vector and fill the option
618
data structure. The parse method is generally called with the
619
interpreter argument vector.
628
The <code>empty-</code> predicate returns true if the argument
629
vector is empty. The argument vector is filled wit the string
630
that are not options during the parsing process.
635
<name>add-list-option</name>
637
<args>Character String String</args>
639
The <code>add-list-option</code> method creates a new list
640
option. The list option is defined by the option character and
641
the option string. The first argument is the option
642
character. The second argument is the option list string. The
643
third argument is the option message. During the parsing
644
process, the list option have a string argument which must match
645
one string associated with the option character.
650
<name>get-unique-option</name>
651
<retn>Character String</retn>
654
The <code>add-unique-option</code> method creates a new single
655
option. The option is defined only by its character. The first
656
argument is the option character. The second argument is the
657
option message. During the parsing process, a unique option does
658
not have an argument.
663
<name>add-string-option</name>
665
<args>Character String</args>
667
The <code>add-string-option</code> method creates a new string
668
option. The option is defined only by its character. The first
669
argument is the option character. The second argument is the
670
option message. During the parsing process, a string option have
676
<name>add-vector-option</name>
677
<retn>Character String</retn>
680
The <code>add-vector-option</code> method creates a new vector
681
option. The option is defined only by its character. The first
682
argument is the option character. The second argument is the
683
option message. During the parsing process, a vector option have
684
a string argument which is accumulated in a vector.
689
<name>set-user-message</name>
693
The <code>set-user-message</code> method sets the global
694
option user message. The user message is used by the
695
<code>usage</code> method.
700
<name>get-user-message</name>
704
The <code>get-user-message</code> method returns the global
705
option user message. The user message is used by the
706
<code>usage</code> method.
711
<name>get-unique-option</name>
713
<args>Character</args>
715
The <code>get-unique-option</code> method returns the flag
716
associated with an option. If the option has been detected
717
during the parsing process, the method returns true. This method
718
works also for string option or list option to indicate if the
719
string has been set for that option. with a vector option, it is
720
simpler to get the vector and check for the vector length. The
721
first argument is the option character to use for testing.
726
<name>get-string-option</name>
728
<args>Character</args>
730
The <code>get-string-option</code> method returns the string
731
associated with a string option. In order to make sure that a
732
string option has been properly set during the parsing process,
733
it is recommended to use the <code>get-unique-option</code>
734
method. The first argument is the option character to use for
735
the string retrieval.
740
<name>get-vector-option</name>
742
<args>Character</args>
744
The <code>get-vector-option</code> method returns the vector
745
associated with a vector option. The first argument is the
746
option character to use for the vector retrieval.
751
<name>get-vector-arguments</name>
755
The <code>get-vector-arguments</code> method returns the vector
756
arguments built during the parsing process.
