* class is gone (DG); Changed getPreviousDayOfWeek(),
* getFollowingDayOfWeek() and getNearestDayOfWeek() to correct
* bugs (DG);
* 05-Dec-2001 : Fixed bug in SpreadsheetDate class (DG);
* 29-May-2002 : Moved the month constants into a separate interface
* (MonthConstants) (DG);
* 27-Aug-2002 : Fixed bug in addMonths() method, thanks to N???levka Petr (DG);
* 03-Oct-2002 : Fixed errors reported by Checkstyle (DG);
* 13-Mar-2003 : Implemented Serializable (DG);
* 29-May-2003 : Fixed bug in addMonths method (DG);

/**
* An abstract class that defines our requirements for manipulating dates,
* without tying down a particular implementation.
* <P>
* Requirement 1 : match at least what Excel does for dates;
* Requirement 2 : the date represented by the class is immutable;
* <P>
* Why not just use java.util.Date? We will, when it makes sense. At times,
* java.util.Date can be *too* precise - it represents an instant in time,
* accurate to 1/1000th of a second (with the date itself depending on the
* time-zone). Sometimes we just want to represent a particular day (e.g. 21
* January 2015) without concerning ourselves about the time of day, or the
* time-zone, or anything else. That's what we've defined SerialDate for.
* <P>
* You can call getInstance() to get a concrete subclass of SerialDate,
* without worrying about the exact implementation.
