!- This is the calendar which going to be used to do all
!- calculations on time. Three types of calendars are possible :
!-
!-  - gregorian :
!-      The normal calendar. The time origin for the
!-      julian day in this case is 24 Nov -4713
!-      (other names : 'standard','proleptic_gregorian')
!-  - noleap :
!-      A 365 day year without leap years.
!-      The origin for the julian days is in this case 1 Jan 0
!-      (other names : '365_day','365d')
!-  - all_leap :
!-      A 366 day year with leap years.
!-      The origin for the julian days is in this case ????
!-      (other names : '366_day','366d'
!-  - julian :
!-      same as gregorian, but with all leap century years
!-  - xxxd :
!-      Year of xxx days with month of equal length.
!-      The origin for the julian days is then also 1 Jan 0
!-
!- As one can see it is difficult to go from one calendar to the other.
!- All operations involving julian days will be wrong.
!- This calendar will lock as soon as possible
!- the length of the year and forbid any further modification.
!-
!- For the non leap-year calendar the method is still brute force.
!- We need to find an Integer series which takes care of the length
!- of the various month. (Jan)
!-
!-   one_day  : one day in seconds
!-   one_year : one year in days
