/**
 * The class <code>Date</code> represents a specific instant
 * in time, with millisecond precision.
 * <p>
 * Prior to JDK&nbsp;1.1, the class <code>Date</code> had two additional
 * functions.  It allowed the interpretation of dates as year, month, day, hour,
 * minute, and second values.  It also allowed the formatting and parsing
 * of date strings.  Unfortunately, the API for these functions was not
 * amenable to internationalization.  As of JDK&nbsp;1.1, the
 * <code>Calendar</code> class should be used to convert between dates and time
 * fields and the <code>DateFormat</code> class should be used to format and
 * parse date strings.
 * The corresponding methods in <code>Date</code> are deprecated.
 * <p>
 * Although the <code>Date</code> class is intended to reflect 
 * coordinated universal time (UTC), it may not do so exactly, 
 * depending on the host environment of the Java Virtual Machine. 
 * Nearly all modern operating systems assume that 1&nbsp;day&nbsp;=
 * 24&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;60&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;60&nbsp;= 86400 seconds 
 * in all cases. In UTC, however, about once every year or two there 
 * is an extra second, called a "leap second." The leap 
 * second is always added as the last second of the day, and always 
 * on December 31 or June 30. For example, the last minute of the 
 * year 1995 was 61 seconds long, thanks to an added leap second. 
 * Most computer clocks are not accurate enough to be able to reflect 
 * the leap-second distinction. 
 * <p>
 * Some computer standards are defined in terms of Greenwich mean 
 * time (GMT), which is equivalent to universal time (UT).  GMT is 
 * the "civil" name for the standard; UT is the 
 * "scientific" name for the same standard. The 
 * distinction between UTC and UT is that UTC is based on an atomic 
 * clock and UT is based on astronomical observations, which for all 
 * practical purposes is an invisibly fine hair to split. Because the 
 * earth's rotation is not uniform (it slows down and speeds up 
 * in complicated ways), UT does not always flow uniformly. Leap 
 * seconds are introduced as needed into UTC so as to keep UTC within 
 * 0.9 seconds of UT1, which is a version of UT with certain 
 * corrections applied. There are other time and date systems as 
 * well; for example, the time scale used by the satellite-based 
 * global positioning system (GPS) is synchronized to UTC but is 
 * <i>not</i> adjusted for leap seconds. An interesting source of 
 * further information is the U.S. Naval Observatory, particularly 
 * the Directorate of Time at:
 * <blockquote><pre>
 *     <a href=http://tycho.usno.navy.mil>http://tycho.usno.navy.mil</a>
 * </pre></blockquote>
 * <p>
 * and their definitions of "Systems of Time" at:
 * <blockquote><pre>
 *     <a href=http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/systime.html>http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/systime.html</a>
 * </pre></blockquote>
 * <p>
 * In all methods of class <code>Date</code> that accept or return 
 * year, month, date, hours, minutes, and seconds values, the 
 * following representations are used: 
 * <ul>
 * <li>A year <i>y</i> is represented by the integer 
 *     <i>y</i>&nbsp;<code>-&nbsp;1900</code>. 
 * <li>A month is represented by an integer from 0 to 11; 0 is January, 
 *     1 is February, and so forth; thus 11 is December. 
 * <li>A date (day of month) is represented by an integer from 1 to 31 
 *     in the usual manner. 
 * <li>An hour is represented by an integer from 0 to 23. Thus, the hour 
 *     from midnight to 1 a.m. is hour 0, and the hour from noon to 1 
 *     p.m. is hour 12. 
 * <li>A minute is represented by an integer from 0 to 59 in the usual manner.
 * <li>A second is represented by an integer from 0 to 61; the values 60 and 
 *     61 occur only for leap seconds and even then only in Java 
 *     implementations that actually track leap seconds correctly. Because 
 *     of the manner in which leap seconds are currently introduced, it is 
 *     extremely unlikely that two leap seconds will occur in the same 
 *     minute, but this specification follows the date and time conventions 
 *     for ISO C.
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * In all cases, arguments given to methods for these purposes need 
 * not fall within the indicated ranges; for example, a date may be 
 * specified as January 32 and is interpreted as meaning February 1.

     * meridian). If no time zone is specified, the local time zone is 
     * assumed. GMT and UTC are considered equivalent.
     * <p>
     * The string <tt>s</tt> is processed from left to right, looking for 
     * data of interest. Any material in <tt>s</tt> that is within the 
     * ASCII parenthesis characters <tt>(</tt> and <tt>)</tt> is ignored. 
     * Parentheses may be nested. Otherwise, the only characters permitted 
     * within <tt>s</tt> are these ASCII characters:
     * <blockquote><pre>
     * abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
     * ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
     * 0123456789,+-:/</pre></blockquote>
     * and whitespace characters.<p>
     * A consecutive sequence of decimal digits is treated as a decimal 
     * number:<ul>
     * <li>If a number is preceded by <tt>+</tt> or <tt>-</tt> and a year 
     *     has already been recognized, then the number is a time-zone 
     *     offset. If the number is less than 24, it is an offset measured 
     *     in hours. Otherwise, it is regarded as an offset in minutes, 
     *     expressed in 24-hour time format without punctuation. A 
     *     preceding <tt>-</tt> means a westward offset. Time zone offsets 
     *     are always relative to UTC (Greenwich). Thus, for example, 
     *     <tt>-5</tt> occurring in the string would mean "five hours west 
     *     of Greenwich" and <tt>+0430</tt> would mean "four hours and 
     *     thirty minutes east of Greenwich." It is permitted for the 
     *     string to specify <tt>GMT</tt>, <tt>UT</tt>, or <tt>UTC</tt> 
     *     redundantly-for example, <tt>GMT-5</tt> or <tt>utc+0430</tt>.
     * <li>The number is regarded as a year number if one of the
     *     following conditions is true:
     * <ul>
     *     <li>The number is equal to or greater than 70 and followed by a
     *         space, comma, slash, or end of string
     *     <li>The number is less than 70, and both a month and a day of
     *         the month have already been recognized</li>
     * </ul>
     *     If the recognized year number is less than 100, it is
     *     interpreted as an abbreviated year relative to a century of
     *     which dates are within 80 years before and 19 years after
     *     the time when the Date class is initialized.
     *     After adjusting the year number, 1900 is subtracted from
     *     it. For example, if the current year is 1999 then years in
     *     the range 19 to 99 are assumed to mean 1919 to 1999, while
     *     years from 0 to 18 are assumed to mean 2000 to 2018.  Note
     *     that this is slightly different from the interpretation of
     *     years less than 100 that is used in {@link java.text.SimpleDateFormat}.
     * <li>If the number is followed by a colon, it is regarded as an hour, 
     *     unless an hour has already been recognized, in which case it is 
     *     regarded as a minute.
     * <li>If the number is followed by a slash, it is regarded as a month 
     *     (it is decreased by 1 to produce a number in the range <tt>0</tt> 
     *     to <tt>11</tt>), unless a month has already been recognized, in 
     *     which case it is regarded as a day of the month.
     * <li>If the number is followed by whitespace, a comma, a hyphen, or 
     *     end of string, then if an hour has been recognized but not a 
     *     minute, it is regarded as a minute; otherwise, if a minute has 
     *     been recognized but not a second, it is regarded as a second; 
     *     otherwise, it is regarded as a day of the month. </ul><p>
     * A consecutive sequence of letters is regarded as a word and treated 
     * as follows:<ul>
     * <li>A word that matches <tt>AM</tt>, ignoring case, is ignored (but 
     *     the parse fails if an hour has not been recognized or is less 
     *     than <tt>1</tt> or greater than <tt>12</tt>).
     * <li>A word that matches <tt>PM</tt>, ignoring case, adds <tt>12</tt> 
     *     to the hour (but the parse fails if an hour has not been 
     *     recognized or is less than <tt>1</tt> or greater than <tt>12</tt>).
     * <li>Any word that matches any prefix of <tt>SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY, 
     *     WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY</tt>, or <tt>SATURDAY</tt>, ignoring 
     *     case, is ignored. For example, <tt>sat, Friday, TUE</tt>, and

     * <li>Otherwise, any word that matches any prefix of <tt>JANUARY, 
     *     FEBRUARY, MARCH, APRIL, MAY, JUNE, JULY, AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, 
     *     OCTOBER, NOVEMBER</tt>, or <tt>DECEMBER</tt>, ignoring case, and 
     *     considering them in the order given here, is recognized as
     *     specifying a month and is converted to a number (<tt>0</tt> to 
     *     <tt>11</tt>). For example, <tt>aug, Sept, april</tt>, and
