5990bfb40b Explain that setting an absolute day value can fail and that the month should
usually be set first when using -v.

Adjust an example that sets the day to 30 before setting the month to 3 in
accordance with this approach as the example would always fail in February!

d3e240cb45 Change the behaviour of `-v' so that, e.g., stepping a month back
on March 31 won't take you to March 2 or 3 (now the result will
be the last day of February.)

In general, now stepping by months from the last days of the current
month A will take you to the very last day of the target month B if
B is shorter than A.

The previous version would just step to March 31 and rely on mktime(3)
to correct the date.  Despite its simplicity, such way was counter-intuitive
to users and caused pain to shell script writers.

8a0f7000e6 Give the most awesome example of how to parse the output of date
back into epoch time.  Everytime I'm asked to do this by someone I
have to spend about ten minutes recreating the same command line.
So record it under examples.

640c4d40fb Give date(1) a much better SYNOPSIS section which is useful as more than
decoration.  Further improvements are welcome, but at least this
is a separate of the various modes of operation date has, as well as
sectioning off the two deprecated options for settimeofday(tz) that
don't even apply to actual operation of date as such, anyway.

c4d9468ea0 mdoc(7) police:
Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.

add a -j flag that tells date not to try to set the date.  This allows you
to use date as a userland interface to strptime.

example:
TZ=GMT date -j -f "%a, %d %b %Y %T %Z" "Sun, 08 Nov 1998 02:22:20 GMT" +%s
