       Delta words for going forward/backward in time
           When parsing deltas, there are words that may be used to specify the the delta will
           refer to a time in the future or to a time in the past (relative to some date).  In
           English, for example, you might say:

              IN 5 days
              5 days AGO

           The following words may be used to specify deltas that refer to dates in the past or
           future respectively:

              il y a
              auparavant
              dans le passe
              plus tot
              plus tot

              en
              plus tard
              dans l'avenir
              a venir
              a venir
              dans

       Business mode
           This contains two lists of words which can be used to specify a standard (i.e. non-
           business) delta or a business delta.

           Previously, it was used to tell whether the delta was approximate or exact, but now
           this list is not used except to force the delta to be standard.

           The following words may be used:

              exactement
              approximativement
              environ

              ouvrable
              ouvrables

       Ignored words
           In writing out dates in common forms, there are a number of words that are typically
           not important.

           There is frequently a word that appears in a phrase to designate that a time is going
           to be specified next.  In English, you would use the word AT in the example:

              December 3 at 12:00

           The following words may be used:

              a
              a

           Another word is used to designate one member of a set.  In English, you would use the
           words IN or OF:

              1st day OF December
              1st day IN December

           The following words may be used:

              de
              en
              du

           Another word is use to specify that something is on a certain date.  In English, you
           would use ON:

              ON July 5th

           The following words may be used:

              sur

       Words that set the date, time, or both
           There are some words that can be used to specify a date, a time, or both relative to
           now.

           Words that set the date are similar to the English words 'yesterday' or 'tomorrow'.
           These are specified as a delta which is added to the current time to get a date.  The
           time is NOT set however, so the delta is only partially used (it should only include
           year, month, week, and day fields).

           The following words may be used:

              aujourd'hui          0:0:0:0:0:0:0
              demain               +0:0:0:1:0:0:0
              hier                 -0:0:0:1:0:0:0

           Words that set only the time of day are similar to the English words 'noon' or
           'midnight'.

           The following words may be used:

              midi                 12:00:00
              minuit               00:00:00

           Words that set the entire time and date (relative to the current time and date) are
           also available.

           In English, the word 'now' is one of these.

           The following words may be used:

              maintenant           0:0:0:0:0:0:0

       Hour/Minute/Second separators
           When specifying the time of day, the most common separator is a colon (:) which can be
           used for both separators.

           Some languages use different pairs.  For example, French allows you to specify the
           time as 13h30:20, so it would use the following pairs:

              : :
              [h] [:]

           The first column is the hour-minute separator and the second column is the minute-
           second separator.  Both are perl regular expressions.

           A pair of colons is ALWAY allowed for all languages.  If a language allows additional
           pairs, they are listed here:

              [h]  [:]
