/**	Class model for custom calendar classes or objects, inspired by Temporal but adapted to ExtDate and ExtDateTimeFormat objects.
 * @typedef {Object} Customcalendar 
 * @property {String} id 	- a specific name for this calendar, used by the ExtDate.toCalString method.
 * @property {String} canvas 	- the name of a built-in calendar that provides the initial structure, and possible the names of months, weekdays etc. for the target calendar.
 * @property {access} pldr 	- a "private locale data repository" document object, to use for displaying certain fields (e.g. months) with ExtDateTimeFormat.
 * @property {String[]} eras	- array of the string codes for the eras for this calendar, if eras used.
 * @property {String} stringFormat	- a string that specifies how date string is computed. Possible values are:
	* "built-in" : compute parts of displayed string as an ordinary DateTimeFormat, and then reformat each part as stated by "partsFormat" object;
	* "fields" : general structure of string as stated from options, but values recomputed following fields of this calendar, and modified as stated by "partsFormat";
	* currently, this option only works with Roman-like calendars;
	* "auto" (default): means "built-in".
 * @property {Object} partsFormat	- specifies how to format each part corresponding to each date field. Each tag is the name of a part to display (e.g. "era").
 * @property {Object} partsFormat.current	- 'current' is the name of a date field, like year, month, day etc.
 * @property {String} partsFormat.current.mode	- how to find the value: 
	* "cldr" : leave value set by standard Intl.DateTimeFormat.FormatToParts (equivalent to no object for this part name).
	* "field": put field as is; if undefined, put "". For test and debug, and for void fields.
	* "list" : (enumerable) values indicated in "source" field; if field is not a number, index to be found searching "codes".
	* "pldr" : values to be found in an XML document which represents a "private locale data repository", to be specified as a class parameter.
 * @property {access} partsFormat.current.source 	- the reference to the values, if mode == "list" or "pldr".
 * @property {String[]} partsFormat.current.codes 	- if (mode == "list" ) and for a non-numeric field (e.g. an era), the array of codes to search for.
 * @property {String} partsFormat.current.calname	- if (mode == "pldr"), the calendar name to fetch. If not specified, "canvas".is tried out, else "id".
 * @property {function} partsFormat.current.key		- if (mode == "pldr"), (field_value) => search_key; 
 * by default, the search key is the field value, except for weekdays of the standard 7-days week, where the keys are ['sun', 'mon' ... 'sat']; 
 * therefore, this function should be provided if an alternative week structure is specified.
 * @property {function} buildDateFromFields - construct a new ExtDate object from date coordinates in this calendar.
 * @property {function}	fieldsFromCounter	- from a timestamp, give UTC date and hour fields. 
 * @property {function}	counterFromFields	- from a UTC date and time expression, compute the timestamp. 
 * @property {function}	weekFieldsFromCounter	- from a timestamp, give UTC date in week coordinates and hour fields. 
 * @property {function} counterFromWeekFields 	- from a UTC date in week coordinates and time expression, compute the timestamp.
 * @property {function} solveAskedFields 	- from a set of date fields, solve any ambiguity before merging.
 * @property {function}	inLeapYear 	function (fields) => (boolean): is this date in a leap year ?
 */
/** Object type for the date figures using ExtDate. There is a distinction between 'numeric' fields and others.
 * The numeric fields are all numbers, and define the date in a unique way. All custom calendars shall provide all numeric fields.
 * Non numeric fields are not required from custom calendars.
 * Fields may hold the date and time coordinates for any time zone.
 * @typedef ExtDateType
 * @property {String} era	- a short international acronym that helps resolving the complete date together with the other date fields;
 * e.g. "BC" or "AD" in the context of the Julian calendar, that is necessary in addition to the 'year' indication; 
 * this field is not numeric.
 * @property {Number} year	- a positive number that expresses the year; the era element is necessary in order to fully determine the year; 
 * this element is considered non numeric, although it is a number.
 * @property {Number} fullYear	- an algebraic number that determines the year in a non ambiguous manner; 
 * the range of possible values is without hole; this is considered a numeric field.
 * @property {Number} month		- month number in a year; the months of a given year are enumerated starting from 1 and without hole.
 * this is considered a numeric field.
 * @property {String} monthCode	- (optional) a short acronym, 
 * e.g. 'M01' for the first month, or 'M06L' for the doubled sixth month or leap month after 'M06';
 * inspired from Temporal and used with non-Unicode display applications;
 * if this field is not defined in a custom calendar, the monthCode shall be set to the month number;
 * @property {String} monthType	- (optional) the type under which the month name should be searched for in lists, CLDR or PLDR;
 * with lunisolar calendars, a same 'month' value can lead to different month names; 
 * this field, together with "leapMonth", helps solving such cases;
 * if missing, ExtDateTimeFormat uses .month as monthType when searching the month name. 
 * @property {String} leapMonth	- (optional), value is "leap" indicating that the leap month version of the month name should be used;
 * if present, ExtDateTimeFormat adds a search key before exploring CLDR or the PLDR, 
 * and also searches the PLDR for a "mark" to add before or after the month string.
 * @property {Number} day 		- the number of the day in the month, starting from 1 and without hole. 
 * @property {Number} hour		- the number of hours since the beginning of the present day, no change with respect to Date.
 * @property {Number} minutes		- the number of minutes since the beginning of the present hour, no change with respect to Date.
 * @property {Number} seconds		- the number of seconds since the beginning of the present minute, no change with respect to Date.
 * @property {Number} milliseconds	- the number of milliseconds since the beginning of the present second, no change with respect to Date.

/** Object type for the week figures of a date
 * @typedef WeekFigures 
 * @property {Number} weekYearOffset 	- number to add to the current fullYear to get the fullYear the week belongs to;
 * @property {Number} weekYear 		- year for the week coordinates (civil full year + weekYearOffset);
 * @property {Number} weekNumber 	- number of the week in the year;
 * @property {Number} weekday 		- number of the day in the week, 0..6 for Sunday..Saturday or 1..7 for Monday..Sunday, or a weekday number of another week structure.
 * @property {Number} weeksInYear 	- number of weeks in the weekYear the week belongs to.
