java.util.Date has GDK methods for adding or subtracting days,
      this is not so useful for different durations of time.  
      TimeCategory creates a simple internal DSL
      for manipulating dates and times in a clean and precise fashion.  
    
| Class Summary | |
|---|---|
| BaseDuration | Base class for date and time durations. | 
| BaseDuration.From | |
| DatumDependentDuration | DatumDependentDuration represents durations whose length in milliseconds cannot be determined without knowing the datum point. | 
| Duration | Duration represents time periods which have values independent of the context.  | 
        
| TimeCategory | Apply a number of methods to allow convenient Date/Time manipulation,such as:
 
 
 use ( TimeCategory ) {
     // application on numbers:
     println 1.minute.from.now
     println 10.hours.ago
 
     // application on dates
     def someDate = new Date()
     println someDate - 3.months
 } | 
        
| TimeDatumDependentDuration | TimeDatumDuration represents a time period which results from an arithmetic operation between a TimeDuration object and a DatumDuration object | 
| TimeDuration | TimeDuration represents time periods expressed in units of hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds.  |
