+/**
+ * Provides date manipulation and formatting functions for use in HotMesh
+ * mapping rules. Although inspired by JavaScript's Date API, these methods
+ * follow a functional approach where each transformation expects one or more
+ * input parameters from the prior row in the `@pipe` structure.
+ *
+ * Many methods accept various input formats (`Date`, `string`, and `number`),
+ * implicitly casting to dates as necessary. The ISO 8601 Extended Format is
+ * supported, including date strings like `YYYY-MM-DD`,
+ * `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss`, and `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ`. Strings or numbers
+ * representing milliseconds since the Unix epoch are also accepted.
+ *
+ * @remarks Methods are invoked as `{@date.<method>}`, e.g., `{@date.now}` or `{@date.getFullYear}`.
