     * <p>Object with extended date parsing and formatting capabilities.
     * This library borrows many concepts and ideas from the Date Instance 
     * Methods by Ken Snyder along with some parts of Ken's actual code.</p>
     *
     * <p>jsDate takes a different approach by not extending the built-in 
     * Date Object, improving date parsing, allowing for multiple formatting 
     * syntaxes and multiple and more easily expandable localization.</p>
