This code was extracted by Vicente J. Botet Escriba from Beman Dawes time2_demo.cpp which
was derived by Beman Dawes from Howard Hinnant's time2_demo prototype.
Many thanks to Howard for making his code available under the Boost license.
The original code was modified to conform to Boost conventions and to section
20.9 Time utilities [time] of the C++ committee's working paper N2798.
