Package: messydates
Title: A Flexible Class for Messy Dates
Version: 1.1.1
Description: Contains a set of tools for constructing and coercing into
        and from the "mdate" class. This date class implements ISO
        8601-2:2019(E) and allows regular dates and times to be
        annotated to express unspecified date or time components,
        approximate or uncertain components, ranges, and sets of dates.
        The package therefore retains, represents, and reasons about
        data and time imprecision, resolving to a single data/time only
        on demand. This is useful for describing and analysing temporal
        information, whether historical or recent, where date or time
        precision may vary.
