/*!

This crate provides a `parse` function to convert English time expressions into a pair
of timestamps representing a time range. It converts "today" into the first and last
moments of today, "May 6, 1968" into the first and last moments of that day, "last year"
into the first and last moments of that year, and so on. It does this even for expressions
generally interpreted as referring to a point in time, such as "3 PM", though for these it
always assumes a granularity of one second. For pointwise expression the first moment is the
point explicitly named. The `parse` expression actually returns a 3-tuple consisting of the
two timestamps and whether the expression is literally a range -- two time expressions
separated by a preposition such as "to", "through", "up to", or "until".

# Example

```rust
extern crate two_timer;
use two_timer::{parse, Config};
extern crate chrono;
use chrono::naive::NaiveDate;

pub fn main() {
    let phrases = [
        "now",
        "this year",
        "last Friday",
        "from now to the end of time",
        "Ragnarok",
        "at 3:00 pm today",
        "5/6/69",
        "Tuesday, May 6, 1969 at 3:52 AM",
        "March 15, 44 BC",
        "Friday the 13th",
        "five minutes before and after midnight",
    ];
    // find the maximum phrase length for pretty formatting
    let max = phrases
        .iter()
        .max_by(|a, b| a.len().cmp(&b.len()))
        .unwrap()
        .len();
    for phrase in phrases.iter() {
        match parse(phrase, None) {
            Ok((d1, d2, _)) => println!("{:width$} => {} --- {}", phrase, d1, d2, width = max),
            Err(e) => println!("{:?}", e),
        }
    }
    let now = NaiveDate::from_ymd_opt(1066, 10, 14).unwrap().and_hms(12, 30, 15);
    println!("\nlet \"now\" be some moment during the Battle of Hastings, specifically {}\n", now);
    let conf = Config::new().now(now);
    for phrase in phrases.iter() {
        match parse(phrase, Some(conf.clone())) {
            Ok((d1, d2, _)) => println!("{:width$} => {} --- {}", phrase, d1, d2, width = max),
            Err(e) => println!("{:?}", e),
        }
    }
}
```
produces

For the full grammar of time expressions, view the source of the `parse` function and
scroll up. The grammar is provided at the top of the file.

# Relative Times

It is common in English to use time expressions which must be interpreted relative to some
context. The context may be verb tense, other events in the discourse, or other semantic or
pragmatic clues. The `two_timer` `parse` function doesn't attempt to infer context perfectly, but
it does make some attempt to get the context right. So, for instance "last Monday through Friday", said
on Saturday, will end on a different day from "next Monday through Friday". The general rules
are

1. a fully-specified expression in a pair will provide the context for the other expression
2. a relative expression will be interpreted as appropriate given its order -- the second expression
describes a time after the first
3. if neither expression is fully-specified, the first will be interpreted relative to "now" and the
second relative to the first
4. a moment interpreted relative to "now" will be assumed to be before now unless the configuration
parameter `default_to_past` is set to `false`, in which case it will be assumed to be after now

The rules of interpretation for relative time expressions in ranges will likely be refined further
in the future.

# Clock Time

The parse function interprets expressions such as "3:00" as referring to time on a 24 hour clock, so
"3:00" will be interpreted as "3:00 AM". This is true even in ranges such as "3:00 PM to 4", where the
more natural interpretation might be "3:00 PM to 4:00 PM".

# Years Near 0

Since it is common to abbreviate years to the last two digits of the century, two-digit
years will be interpreted as abbreviated unless followed by a suffix such as "B.C.E." or "AD".
They will be interpreted by default as the the nearest appropriate *previous* year to the current moment,
so in 2010 "'11" will be interpreted as 1911, not 2011. If you set the configuration parameter
`default_to_past` to `false` this is reversed, so "'11" in 2020 will be interpreted as 2111.

# The Second Time in Ranges

For single expressions, like "this year", "today", "3:00", or "next month", the second of the
two timestamps is straightforward -- it is the end of the relevant temporal unit. "1971" will
be interpreted as the first moment of the first day of 1971 through, but excluding, the first
moment of the first day of 1972, so the second timestamp will be this first excluded moment.

When the parsed expression describes a range, we're really dealing with two potentially overlapping
pairs of timestamps and the choice of the terminal timestamp gets trickier. The general rule
will be that if the second interval is shorter than a day, the first timestamp is the first excluded moment,
so "today to 3:00 PM" means the first moment of the day up to, but excluding, 3:00 PM. If the second
unit is as big as or larger than a day, which timestamp is used varies according to the preposition.
"This week up to Friday" excludes all of Friday. "This week through Friday" includes all of Friday.
Prepositions are assumed to fall into either the "to" class or the "through" class. You may also use
a series of dashes as a synonym for "through", so "this week - fri" is equivalent to "this week through Friday".
For the most current list of prepositions in each class, consult the grammar used for parsing, but
as of the moment, these are the rules:

```text
        up_to => [["to", "until", "up to", "till"]]
        through => [["up through", "through", "thru"]] | r("-+")
```

# Pay Periods

I'm writing this library in anticipation of, for the sake of amusement, rewriting [JobLog](https://metacpan.org/pod/App::JobLog)
in Rust. This means I need the time expressions parsed to include pay periods. Pay periods, though,
are defined relative to some reference date -- a particular Sunday, say -- and have a variable period.
`two_timer`, and JobLog, assume pay periods are of a fixed length and tile the timeline without overlap, so a
pay period of a calendrical month is problematic.

If you need to interpret "last pay period", say, you will need to specify when this pay period began, or
when some pay period began or will begin, and a pay period length in days. The `parse` function has a second
optional argument, a `Config` object, whose chief function outside of testing is to provide this information. So,
for example, you could do this:

```rust
# extern crate two_timer;
# use two_timer::{parse, Config};
let (reference_time, _, _) = parse("5/6/69", None).unwrap();
let config = Config::new().pay_period_start(Some(reference_time.date()));
let (t1, t2, _) = parse("next pay period", Some(config)).unwrap();
```

# Ambiguous Year Formats

`two_timer` will try various year-month-day permutations until one of them parses given that days are in the range 1-31 and
months, 1-12. This is the order in which it tries these permutations:

1. year/month/day
2. year/day/month
3. month/day/year
4. day/month/year

The potential unit separators are `/`, `.`, and `-`. Whitespace is optional.

# Timezones

At the moment `two_timer` only produces "naive" times. Sorry about that.

# Optional Features

The regular expression used by two-timer is extremely efficient once compiled but extremely slow to compile.
This means that the first use of the regular expression will ocassion a perceptible delay. I wrote two-timer as
a component of a Rust re-write of a Perl command line application I also wrote, [App::JobLog](https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/App-JobLog/bin/job).
Compiling the full time grammar required by two-timer makes the common use cases for the Rust version of the application
slower than the Perl version. To address this I added an optional feature to two-timer that one can enable like so:

```toml
[dependencies.two_timer]
version = "~2.2"
features = ["small_grammar"]
```

This will cause two-timer to attempt to parse a time expression initially with a simplified grammar containing
only the typical expressions used with JobLog, falling back on the full grammar if this fails. These are

1. Days of the week, optionally abbreviated
   * Tuesday
   * tue
   * tu
2. Month names
   * June
   * Jun
3. Days, months, or fixed periods of time modified by "this" or "last"
   * this month
   * last week
   * this year
   * this pay period
   * last Monday
4. Certain temporal adverbs
   * now
   * today
   * yesterday
});
