abstract: 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 to be annotated to express unspecified date components, approximate or uncertain
  date components, date ranges, and sets of dates. This is useful for describing and
  analysing temporal information, whether historical or recent, where date precision
  may vary.
