## Interface RelativeDateString

-     public interface RelativeDateString

  A string of known format used to specify a datetime offset. For example, a RelativeDateString that represents "one year from today" is written as `"+1y"`.

  RelativeDateStrings are comprised of the following parts:

  - direction: the direction in which the quantity applies - one of + or -
  - quantity: the number of units of time to apply - a number
  - timeUnit: an abbreviated timeUnit to use - one of ms/MS (millisecond), s/S (second), mn/MN (minute), h/H (hour), d/D (day), w/W (week), m/M (month), q/Q (quarter, 3-months), y/Y (year), dc/DC (decade) or c/C (century).
    The timeUnit is case sensitive. A lowercase timeUnit implies an exact offset, so `+1d` refers to the current date / time increased by exactly 24 hours. If the timeUnit is uppercase, it refers to the start or end boundary of the period of time in question, so `+1D` would refer to the end of the day (23:39:59:999) tomorrow, and `-1D` would refer to the start of the day (00:00:00:000) yesterday.
  - [qualifier]: an optional timeUnit encapsulated in square-brackets and used to offset the calculation - eg. if +1d is "plus one day", +1d[W] is "plus one day from the end of the current week". You may also specify another complete RelativeDateString as the [qualifier], which offers more control - eg, +1d[+1W] indicates "plus one day from the end of NEXT week".

  This format is very flexible. Here are a few example relative date strings:
  `+0D`: End of today. There are often multiple ways to represent the same time using this system - for example this could also be written as `-1ms[+1D]`
  `-0D`: Beginning of today.
  `+1W`: End of next week.
  `+1w[-0W]`: Beginning of next week.
  `+1w[-0D]`: Beginning of the current day of next week.
