 * @class Date
 *
 * The date parsing and formatting syntax contains a subset of
 * <a href="http://www.php.net/date">PHP's date() function</a>, and the formats that are
 * supported will provide results equivalent to their PHP versions.
 *
 * The following is a list of all currently supported formats:
 * <pre>
Format  Description                                                               Example returned values

  o     ISO-8601 year number (identical to (Y), but if the ISO week number (W)    Examples: 1998 or 2004

        1) If unspecified, the month / day defaults to the current month / day,   1991 or
           the time defaults to midnight, while the timezone defaults to the      1992-10 or
           browser's timezone. If a time is specified, it must include both hours 1993-09-20 or
           and minutes. The "T" delimiter, seconds, milliseconds and timezone     1994-08-19T16:20+01:00 or
           are optional.                                                          1995-07-18T17:21:28-02:00 or
        2) The decimal fraction of a second, if specified, must contain at        1996-06-17T18:22:29.98765+03:00 or
           least 1 digit (there is no limit to the maximum number                 1997-05-16T19:23:30,12345-0400 or
           of digits allowed), and may be delimited by either a '.' or a ','      1998-04-15T20:24:31.2468Z or
        Refer to the examples on the right for the various levels of              1999-03-14T20:24:32Z or
        date-time granularity which are supported, or see                         2000-02-13T21:25:33
        http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime for more info.                         2001-01-12 22:26:34
  U     Seconds since the Unix Epoch (January 1 1970 00:00:00 GMT)                1193432466 or -2138434463
  M$    Microsoft AJAX serialized dates                                           \/Date(1238606590509)\/ (i.e. UTC milliseconds since epoch) or
                                                                                  \/Date(1238606590509+0800)\/
</pre>
 *
 * Example usage (note that you must escape format specifiers with '\\' to render them as character literals):
 * <pre><code>
// Sample date:
// 'Wed Jan 10 2007 15:05:01 GMT-0600 (Central Standard Time)'

var dt = new Date('1/10/2007 03:05:01 PM GMT-0600');
document.write(dt.format('Y-m-d'));                           // 2007-01-10
document.write(dt.format('F j, Y, g:i a'));                   // January 10, 2007, 3:05 pm
document.write(dt.format('l, \\t\\he jS \\of F Y h:i:s A'));  // Wednesday, the 10th of January 2007 03:05:01 PM
</code></pre>
 *
 * Here are some standard date/time patterns that you might find helpful.  They
 * are not part of the source of Date.js, but to use them you can simply copy this
 * block of code into any script that is included after Date.js and they will also become
 * globally available on the Date object.  Feel free to add or remove patterns as needed in your code.
 * <pre><code>
Date.patterns = {
    ISO8601Long:"Y-m-d H:i:s",
    ISO8601Short:"Y-m-d",
    ShortDate: "n/j/Y",
    LongDate: "l, F d, Y",
    FullDateTime: "l, F d, Y g:i:s A",
    MonthDay: "F d",
    ShortTime: "g:i A",
    LongTime: "g:i:s A",
    SortableDateTime: "Y-m-d\\TH:i:s",
    UniversalSortableDateTime: "Y-m-d H:i:sO",
    YearMonth: "F, Y"
};
</code></pre>
 *
 * Example usage:
 * <pre><code>
var dt = new Date();
document.write(dt.format(Date.patterns.ShortDate));
</code></pre>
 * <p>Developer-written, custom formats may be used by supplying both a formatting and a parsing function
 * which perform to specialized requirements. The functions are stored in {@link #parseFunctions} and {@link #formatFunctions}.</p>
