 * A class which can consume and produce dates in SQL {@code Date} format.
 * <p>
 * Dates are represented in SQL as {@code yyyy-mm-dd}. Note that this date
 * format only deals with year, month and day values. There are no values for
 * hours, minutes, seconds.
 * </p>
 * This is unlike the familiar {@code java.util.Date} object, which also includes 
 * values for hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds.
 * <p>
 * Time points are handled as millisecond values - milliseconds since the Epoch,
 * January 1st 1970, 00:00:00.000 GMT. Time values passed to the {@code
 * java.sql.Date} class are "normalized" to the time 00:00:00.000 GMT on the
 * date implied by the time value.
