Fuzzy Date/Times

A fuzzy date/time in the Bundt Toolset is a piece of data that specifies a point in time with varying resolution. This is something similar to what you do with a regular date/time, but fuzzy date/times are not constrained to the day, month, year, hour, minute, second schema.

Details

Fuzzy date/times admit the following resolutions:

Century, represented by a number followed by a lower-case "c". For example, 21c indicates the 21st century.
Decade, represented by a number followed by a lower-case "s". For example, 1920s indicates the 1920s decade.
Year, represented by a number. For example, 2007 indicates the year 2007.
Month and year, represented by two numbers separated by a slash "/" character. For example, 10/1970 indicates October 1970.
Date, represented by three numbers separated by slash "/" characters. For example, 8/11/1951 indicates the 8th of November 1951.
Date, hour and minute, represented by a date (see above) plus two numbers separated by a colon ":" character. For example, 8/11/1951 17:21 indicates the 8th of November 1951 at 17:21.
Date and time, represented by a date (see above) plus three numbers separated by colon ":" characters. For example, 8/11/1951 17:21:33 indicates the 8th of November 1951 at 17:21:33.

Fuzzy date/times can be used to express values of a time data type in instance models.
