 * \author Philip S Tellis \<philip@bluesmoon.info\>
 * \version 1.3
 * \date 2008/06
 * \brief Javascript implementation of strftime
 * 
 * Implements strftime for the Date object in javascript based on the PHP implementation described at
 * http://www.php.net/strftime  This is in turn based on the Open Group specification defined
 * at http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/strftime.html This implementation does not
 * include modified conversion specifiers (i.e., Ex and Ox)
 *
 * The following format specifiers are supported:
 *
 * \copydoc formats
 *
 * \%a, \%A, \%b and \%B should be localised for non-English locales.
 *
 * \par Usage:
 * This library may be used as follows:
 * \code
 *     var d = new Date();
 *
 *     var ymd = d.strftime('%Y/%m/%d');
 *     var iso = d.strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z');
 *
 * \endcode
 *
 * \sa \link Date.prototype.strftime Date.strftime \endlink for a description of each of the supported format specifiers
 * \sa Date.ext.locales for localisation information
 * \sa http://www.php.net/strftime for the PHP implementation which is the basis for this
 * \sa http://tech.bluesmoon.info/2008/04/strftime-in-javascript.html for feedback

 * \section intro_sec Introduction
 *
 * C and PHP developers have had access to a built in strftime function for a long time.
 * This function is an easy way to format dates and times for various display needs.
 *
 * This library brings the flexibility of strftime to the javascript Date object
 *
 * Use this library if you frequently need to format dates in javascript in a variety of ways.  For example,
 * if you have PHP code that writes out formatted dates, and want to mimic the functionality using
 * progressively enhanced javascript, then this library can do exactly what you want.
 *
 *
 *
 *
 * \page usage Example usage
 *
 * \section usage_sec Usage
 * This library may be used as follows:
 * \code
 *     var d = new Date();
 *
 *     var ymd = d.strftime('%Y/%m/%d');
 *     var iso = d.strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z');
 *
 * \endcode
 *
 * \subsection examples Examples
 * 
 * To get the current time in hours and minutes:
 * \code
 * 	var d = new Date();
 * 	d.strftime("%H:%M");
 * \endcode
 *
 * To get the current time with seconds in AM/PM notation:
 * \code
 * 	var d = new Date();
 * 	d.strftime("%r");
 * \endcode
 *
 * To get the year and day of the year for August 23, 2009:
 * \code
 * 	var d = new Date('2009/8/23');
 * 	d.strftime("%Y-%j");
 * \endcode
 *
 * \section demo_sec Demo
 *
 * Try your own examples on the \subpage demo page.  You can use any of the supported
 * \subpage format_specifiers.
 *
 *
 *
 *
 * \page localisation Localisation
 * You can localise strftime by implementing the short and long forms for days of the
 * week and months of the year, and the localised aggregates for the preferred date
 * and time representation for your locale.  You need to add your locale to the
 * Date.ext.locales object.
 *
 * \section localising_fr Localising for french
 *
 * For example, this is how we'd add French language strings to the locales object:
 * \dontinclude index.html
 * \skip Generic french
 * \until };
 * The % format specifiers are all defined in \ref formats.  You can use any of those.
 *
 * This locale definition may be included in your own source file, or in the HTML file
 * including \c strftime.js, however it must be defined \em after including \c strftime.js
 *
 * The above definition includes generic french strings and formats that are used in France.
 * Other french speaking countries may have other representations for dates and times, so we
 * need to override this for them.  For example, Canadian french uses a Y-m-d date format,
 * while French french uses d.m.Y.  We fix this by defining Canadian french to be the same
 * as generic french, and then override the format specifiers for \c x for the \c fr-CA locale:
 * \until End french
 *
 * You can now use any of the French locales at any time by setting \link Date.prototype.locale Date.locale \endlink
 * to \c "fr", \c "fr-FR", \c "fr-CA", or any other french dialect:
 * \code
 *     var d = new Date("2008/04/22");
 *     d.locale = "fr";
 *
 *     d.strftime("%A, %d %B == %x");
 * \endcode
 * will return:
 * \code
 *     mardi, 22 avril == 22.04.2008
 * \endcode
 * While changing the locale to "fr-CA":
 * \code
 *     d.locale = "fr-CA";
 *
 *     d.strftime("%A, %d %B == %x");
 * \endcode
 * will return:
 * \code
 *     mardi, 22 avril == 2008-04-22
 * \endcode
 *
 * You can use any of the format specifiers defined at \ref formats
 *
 * The locale for all dates defaults to the value of the \c lang attribute of your HTML document if
 * it is set, or to \c "en" otherwise.
 * \note
 * Your locale definitions \b MUST be added to the locale object before calling
 * \link Date.prototype.strftime Date.strftime \endlink.
 *
 * \sa \ref formats for a list of format specifiers that can be used in your definitions
 * for c, x and X.
 *
 * \section locale_names Locale names
 *
 * Locale names are defined in RFC 1766. Typically, a locale would be a two letter ISO639
 * defined language code and an optional ISO3166 defined country code separated by a -
 * 
 * eg: fr-FR, de-DE, hi-IN
 *
 * \sa http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1766.txt
 * \sa http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php
 * \sa http://www.iso.org/iso/country_codes/iso_3166_code_lists/english_country_names_and_code_elements.htm
 * 
 * \section locale_fallback Locale fallbacks
 *
 * If a locale object corresponding to the fully specified locale isn't found, an attempt will be made
 * to fall back to the two letter language code.  If a locale object corresponding to that isn't found
 * either, then the locale will fall back to \c "en".  No warning will be issued.
 *
 * For example, if we define a locale for de:
 * \until };
 * Then set the locale to \c "de-DE":
 * \code
 *     d.locale = "de-DE";
 *
 *     d.strftime("%a, %d %b");
 * \endcode
 * In this case, the \c "de" locale will be used since \c "de-DE" has not been defined:
 * \code
 *     Di, 22 Apr
 * \endcode
 *
 * Swiss german will return the same since it will also fall back to \c "de":
 * \code
 *     d.locale = "de-CH";
 *
 *     d.strftime("%a, %d %b");
 * \endcode
 * \code
 *     Di, 22 Apr
 * \endcode
 *
 * We need to override the \c a specifier for Swiss german, since it's different from German german:
 * \until End german
 * We now get the correct results:
 * \code
 *     d.locale = "de-CH";
 *
 *     d.strftime("%a, %d %b");
 * \endcode
 * \code
 *     Die, 22 Apr
 * \endcode

 *
 * \subsection howtouse Is there a manual on how to use this library?
 *
 * Yes, see \ref usage
 *
 * \subsection wheretoget Where can I get a minified version of this library?
 *
 * The minified version is available <a href="strftime-min.js" title="Minified strftime.js">here</a>.
 *
 * \subsection which_specifiers Which format specifiers are supported?
 *
 * See \ref format_specifiers
 *
 * \section whys Why?
 *
 * \subsection why_lib Why this library?
 *
 * I've used the strftime function in C, PHP and the Unix shell, and found it very useful
 * to do date formatting.  When I needed to do date formatting in javascript, I decided
 * that it made the most sense to just reuse what I'm already familiar with.
 *
 * \subsection why_another Why another strftime implementation for Javascript?
 *
 * Yes, there are other strftime implementations for Javascript, but I saw problems with
 * all of them that meant I couldn't use them directly.  Some implementations had bad
 * designs.  For example, iterating through all possible specifiers and scanning the string
 * for them.  Others were tied to specific libraries like prototype.
 *
 * Trying to extend any of the existing implementations would have required only slightly
 * less effort than writing this from scratch.  In the end it took me just about 3 hours
 * to write the code and about 6 hours battling with doxygen to write these docs.
 *
 * I also had an idea of how I wanted to implement this, so decided to try it.
 *
 * \subsection why_extend_date Why extend the Date class rather than subclass it?

 * I tried subclassing Date and failed.  I didn't want to waste time on figuring
 * out if there was a problem in my code or if it just wasn't possible.  Adding to the
 * Date.prototype worked well, so I stuck with it.
 *
 * I did have some worries because of the way for..in loops got messed up after json.js added
 * to the Object.prototype, but that isn't an issue here since {} is not a subclass of Date.
 *
 * My last doubt was about the Date.ext namespace that I created.  I still don't like this,
 * but I felt that \c ext at least makes clear that this is external or an extension.
 *
 * It's quite possible that some future version of javascript will add an \c ext or a \c locale
 * or a \c strftime property/method to the Date class, but this library should probably
 * check for capabilities before doing what it does.

 *
 * 15 minutes for the idea while I was composing this blog post:
 * http://tech.bluesmoon.info/2008/04/javascript-date-functions.html
 *
 * 3 hours in one evening to write v1.0 of the code and 6 hours the same
 * night to write the docs and this manual.  As you can tell, I'm fairly
 * sleepy.
 *
 * Versions 1.1 and 1.2 were done in a couple of hours each, and version 1.3
 * in under one hour.
