## Description

### `date_duration` public construct/copy/destruct

1.     explicit date_duration(duration_rep day_count = 0);

   Construct from a day count.

2.     date_duration(date_time::special_values sv);

   construct from special_values

3.     date_duration(const date_duration & other);

   Copy constructor.

4.     date_duration(const base_type & other);

   Construct from another `date_duration`.

### `date_duration` public member functions

1.     bool operator==(const date_duration & rhs) const;

2.     bool operator!=(const date_duration & rhs) const;

3.     bool operator<(const date_duration & rhs) const;

4.     bool operator>(const date_duration & rhs) const;

5.     bool operator<=(const date_duration & rhs) const;

6.     bool operator>=(const date_duration & rhs) const;

7.     date_duration & operator-=(const date_duration & rhs);

   Subtract another duration <ndash></ndash> result is signed.

8.     date_duration & operator+=(const date_duration & rhs);

   Add a duration <ndash></ndash> result is signed.

9.     date_duration operator-() const;

   unary- Allows for dd = -date_duration(2); -> dd == -2

10.     date_duration & operator/=(int divisor);

    Division operations on a duration with an integer.

### `date_duration` public static functions

1.     static date_duration unit();

   Returns the smallest duration <ndash></ndash> used by to calculate 'end'.
