+/**
+ * @class Boolean
+ *
+ * The `Boolean` object is an object wrapper for a boolean value.
+ *
+ * The value passed as the first parameter is converted to a boolean value, if necessary. If value is
+ * omitted or is 0, -0, null, false, `NaN`, undefined, or the empty string (""), the object has an
+ * initial value of false. All other values, including any object or the string `"false"`, create an
+ * object with an initial value of true.
+ *
+ * Do not confuse the primitive Boolean values true and false with the true and false values of the
+ * Boolean object.
+ *
+ * Any object whose value is not `undefined` or `null`, including a Boolean object whose value is false,
+ * evaluates to true when passed to a conditional statement. For example, the condition in the following
+ * if statement evaluates to true:
+ *
+ *     x = new Boolean(false);
+ *     if (x) {
+ *         // . . . this code is executed
+ *     }
+ *
+ * This behavior does not apply to Boolean primitives. For example, the condition in the following if
+ * statement evaluates to `false`:
+ *     x = false;
+ *     if (x) {
+ *         // . . . this code is not executed
+ *     }
+ *
+ * Do not use a `Boolean` object to convert a non-boolean value to a boolean value. Instead, use Boolean
+ * as a function to perform this task:
+ *
+ *     x = Boolean(expression);     // preferred
+ *     x = new Boolean(expression); // don't use
+ *
+ * If you specify any object, including a Boolean object whose value is false, as the initial value of a
+ * Boolean object, the new Boolean object has a value of true.
+ *
+ *     myFalse = new Boolean(false);   // initial value of false
+ *     g = new Boolean(myFalse);       // initial value of true
+ *     myString = new String("Hello"); // string object
+ *     s = new Boolean(myString);      // initial value of true
+ *
+ * Do not use a Boolean object in place of a Boolean primitive.
+ *
+ * # Creating Boolean objects with an initial value of false
+ *
+ *     bNoParam = new Boolean();
+ *     bZero = new Boolean(0);
+ *     bNull = new Boolean(null);
+ *     bEmptyString = new Boolean("");
+ *     bfalse = new Boolean(false);

+ * The Boolean object overrides the `toString` method of the `Object` object; it does not inherit

+ * the object.
+ *
+ * JavaScript calls the `toString` method automatically when a Boolean is to be represented as a text
+ * value or when a Boolean is referred to in a string concatenation.
+ *
+ * For Boolean objects and values, the built-in `toString` method returns the string `"true"` or
+ * `"false"` depending on the value of the boolean object. In the following code, `flag.toString`
+ * returns `"true"`.

+/**
+ * @class Date
+ *
+ * Creates `Date` instances which let you work with dates and times.
+ *
+ * If you supply no arguments, the constructor creates a `Date` object for today's
+ * date and time according to local time. If you supply some arguments but not
+ * others, the missing arguments are set to 0. If you supply any arguments, you
+ * must supply at least the year, month, and day. You can omit the hours, minutes,
+ * seconds, and milliseconds.
+ *
+ * The date is measured in milliseconds since midnight 01 January, 1970 UTC. A day
+ * holds 86,400,000 milliseconds. The `Date` object range is -100,000,000 days to
+ * 100,000,000 days relative to 01 January, 1970 UTC.
+ *
+ * The `Date` object provides uniform behavior across platforms.
+ *
+ * The `Date` object supports a number of UTC (universal) methods, as well as
+ * local time methods. UTC, also known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), refers to the
+ * time as set by the World Time Standard. The local time is the time known to the
+ * computer where JavaScript is executed.
+ *
+ * Invoking `Date` in a non-constructor context (i.e., without the `new` operator)
+ * will return a string representing the current time.
+ *
+ * Note that `Date` objects can only be instantiated by calling `Date` or using it
+ * as a constructor; unlike other JavaScript object types, `Date` objects have no
+ * literal syntax.
+ *
+ * # Several ways to assign dates
+ *
+ * The following example shows several ways to assign dates:
+ *
+ *     today = new Date();
+ *     birthday = new Date("December 19, 1989 03:24:00");
+ *     birthday = new Date(1989,11,19);
+ *     birthday = new Date(1989,11,17,3,24,0);
+ *
+ * # Calculating elapsed time
+ *
+ * The following examples show how to determine the elapsed time between two dates:
+ *
+ *     // using static methods
+ *     var start = Date.now();
+ *     // the event you'd like to time goes here:
+ *     doSomethingForALongTime();
+ *     var end = Date.now();
+ *     var elapsed = end - start; // time in milliseconds
+ *
+ *     // if you have Date objects
+ *     var start = new Date();
+ *     // the event you'd like to time goes here:
+ *     doSomethingForALongTime();
+ *     var end = new Date();
+ *     var elapsed = end.getTime() - start.getTime(); // time in milliseconds
+ *
+ *     // if you want to test a function and get back its return
+ *     function printElapsedTime (fTest) {
+ *         var nStartTime = Date.now(), vReturn = fTest(), nEndTime = Date.now();

+ *
+ *     // use a function for the exact format desired...

+/**
+ * @method parse
+ * @static
+ * Parses a string representation of a date, and returns the number of milliseconds
+ * since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00, local time.
+ *
+ * The `parse` method takes a date string (such as `"Dec 25, 1995"`) and returns the number of
+ * milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. The local time zone is used to interpret
+ * arguments that do not contain time zone information. This function is useful for setting date
+ * values based on string values, for example in conjunction with the `setTime` method and the
+ * {@link Date} object.
+ *
+ * Given a string representing a time, parse returns the time value. It accepts the IETF standard (RFC
+ * 1123 Section 5.2.14 and elsewhere) date syntax: `"Mon, 25 Dec 1995 13:30:00 GMT"`. It understands
+ * the continental US time-zone abbreviations, but for general use, use a time-zone offset, for
+ * example, `"Mon, 25 Dec 1995 13:30:00 GMT+0430"` (4 hours, 30 minutes east of the Greenwich
+ * meridian). If you do not specify a time zone, the local time zone is assumed. GMT and UTC are
+ * considered equivalent.
+ *
+ * ### Using parse
+ *
+ * If `IPOdate` is an existing `Date` object, then you can set it to August 9, 1995 (local time) as
+ * follows:
+ *
+ *     IPOdate.setTime(Date.parse("Aug 9, 1995"));
+ *
+ * Some other examples:
+ *
+ *     // Returns 807937200000 in time zone GMT-0300, and other values in other
+ *     // timezones, since the argument does not specify a time zone.
+ *     Date.parse("Aug 9, 1995");
+ *
+ *     // Returns 807926400000 no matter the local time zone.

+ *
+ *     // Returns 807937200000 in timezone GMT-0300, and other values in other

+/**
+ * @method UTC
+ * @static
+ * Accepts the same parameters as the longest form of the constructor, and returns
+ * the number of milliseconds in a `Date` object since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00,
+ * universal time.
+ *
+ * `UTC` takes comma-delimited date parameters and returns the number of milliseconds between January
+ * 1, 1970, 00:00:00, universal time and the time you specified.
+ *
+ * You should specify a full year for the year; for example, 1998. If a year between 0 and 99 is
+ * specified, the method converts the year to a year in the 20th century (1900 + year); for example,
+ * if you specify 95, the year 1995 is used.
+ *
+ * The `UTC` method differs from the `Date` constructor in two ways.
+ * *   `Date.UTC` uses universal time instead of the local time.
+ * *   `Date.UTC` returns a time value as a number instead of creating a `Date` object.
+ *
+ * If a parameter you specify is outside of the expected range, the `UTC` method updates the other
+ * parameters to allow for your number. For example, if you use 15 for month, the year will be
+ * incremented by 1 (year + 1), and 3 will be used for the month.
+ *
+ * Because `UTC` is a static method of `Date`, you always use it as `Date.UTC()`, rather than as a
+ * method of a `Date` object you created.
+*
+ * The following statement creates a `Date` object using GMT instead of local time:
+ *
