/**
 * Provides support for converting dates to strings and vice-versa.
 * The strings are structured so that lexicographic sorting orders 
 * them by date, which makes them suitable for use as field values 
 * and search terms.
 * 
 * <P>This class also helps you to limit the resolution of your dates. Do not
 * save dates with a finer resolution than you really need, as then
 * RangeQuery and PrefixQuery will require more memory and become slower.
 * 
 * <P>Compared to {@link DateField} the strings generated by the methods
 * in this class take slightly more space, unless your selected resolution
 * is set to <code>Resolution.DAY</code> or lower.
