+class Time
+
+  # Using the :year_range option (or no option), this method creates a
+  # Time object of a random value, within

+  #
+  # Using the :series option, this method returns an array
+  # containing a randomized Time object as its first element (limited by
+  # the specified :year_range value). Subsequent elements will be Time objects
+  # with values putting them later than the prior element, within the specified
+  # range value (see examples).
+  #

+  # @example
+  #   a random date...
