     * 
     * <p>DateUtils contains a lot of common methods considering manipulations
     * of Dates or Calendars. Some methods require some extra explanation.
     * The truncate, ceiling and round methods could be considered the Math.floor(),
     * Math.ceil() or Math.round versions for dates
     * This way date-fields will be ignored in bottom-up order.
     * As a complement to these methods we've introduced some fragment-methods.
     * With these methods the Date-fields will be ignored in top-down order.
     * Since a date without a year is not a valid date, you have to decide in what
     * kind of date-field you want your result, for instance milliseconds or days.
