    """
    Standard kind of date increment used for a date range.

    Works exactly like relativedelta in terms of the keyword args you
    pass in, use of the keyword n is discouraged-- you would be better
    off specifying n in the keywords you use, but regardless it is
    there for you. n is needed for DateOffset subclasses.

    DateOffets work as follows.  Each offset specify a set of dates
    that conform to the DateOffset.  For example, Bday defines this
    set to be the set of dates that are weekdays (M-F).  To test if a
    date is in the set of a DateOffset dateOffset we can use the
    onOffset method: dateOffset.onOffset(date).

    If a date is not on a valid date, the rollback and rollforward
    methods can be used to roll the date to the nearest valid date
    before/after the date.

    DateOffsets can be created to move dates forward a given number of
    valid dates.  For example, Bday(2) can be added to a date to move
    it two business days forward.  If the date does not start on a
    valid date, first it is moved to a valid date.  Thus psedo code
    is:

    def __add__(date):
      date = rollback(date) # does nothing is date is valid
      return date + <n number of periods>

    When a date offset is created for a negitive number of periods,
    the date is first rolled forward.  The pseudo code is:

    def __add__(date):
      date = rollforward(date) # does nothing is date is valid
      return date + <n number of periods>

    Zero presents a problem.  Should it roll forward or back?  We
    arbitrarily have it rollforward:

    date + BDay(0) == BDay.rollforward(date)

    Since 0 is a bit weird, we suggest avoiding its use.
