/*! \file period.hpp

  basically the same idea as a range.  Although this class is intended for
  use in the time library, it is pretty close to general enough for other
  numeric uses.

namespace boost {
namespace date_time {
  //!Provides generalized period type useful in date-time systems
  /*!This template uses a class to represent a time point within the period
    and another class to represent a duration.  As a result, this class is
    not appropriate for use when the number and duration representation 
    are the same (eg: in the regular number domain).
    
    A period can be specified by providing either the begining point and 
    a duration or the begining point and the end point( end is NOT part 
    of the period but 1 unit past it. A period will be "invalid" if either
    end_point <= begin_point or the given duration is <= 0. Any valid period 
    will return false for is_null().
    
    Zero length periods are also considered invalid. Zero length periods are
    periods where the begining and end points are the same, or, the given 
    duration is zero. For a zero length period, the last point will be one 
    unit less than the begining point.

    In the case that the begin and last are the same, the period has a 
    length of one unit.
    
    The best way to handle periods is usually to provide a begining point and
    a duration.  So, day1 + 7 days is a week period which includes all of the
    first day and 6 more days (eg: Sun to Sat).
