/**
 * The public interface for inspecting settings specific to a CronTrigger, .
 * which is used to fire a <code>{@link org.quartz.Job}</code>
 * at given moments in time, defined with Unix 'cron-like' schedule definitions.
 * 
 * <p>
 * For those unfamiliar with "cron", this means being able to create a firing
 * schedule such as: "At 8:00am every Monday through Friday" or "At 1:30am
 * every last Friday of the month".
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * The format of a "Cron-Expression" string is documented on the 
 * {@link org.quartz.CronExpression} class.

 * <li>Support for specifying both a day-of-week and a day-of-month value is

 * </li>
 * <li>Be careful when setting fire times between mid-night and 1:00 AM -
 * "daylight savings" can cause a skip or a repeat depending on whether the
