/**
 * 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.

     * 13:30:00 GMT+0430" (4 hours, 30 minutes west of the Greenwich
     * 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

     *     FEBRUARY, MARCH, APRIL, MAY, JUNE, JULY, AUGUST, SEPTEMBER,
     *     OCTOBER, NOVEMBER</tt>, or <tt>DECEMBER</tt>, ignoring case, and

     *     specifying a month and is converted to a number (<tt>0</tt> to
     *     <tt>11</tt>). For example, <tt>aug, Sept, april</tt>, and
     *     <tt>NOV</tt> are recognized as months. So is <tt>Ma</tt>, which
