# The Date Helper primarily creates select/option tags for different kinds of dates and date elements. All of the select-type methods
# share a number of common options that are as follows:
#
# * <tt>:prefix</tt> - overwrites the default prefix of "date" used for the select names. So specifying "birthday" would give
# birthday[month] instead of date[month] if passed to the select_month method.
# * <tt>:include_blank</tt> - set to true if it should be possible to set an empty date.
# * <tt>:discard_type</tt> - set to true if you want to discard the type part of the select name. If set to true, the select_month
# method would use simply "date" (which can be overwritten using <tt>:prefix</tt>) instead of "date[month]".

# Reports the approximate distance in time between two Time or Date objects or integers as seconds.
# Set <tt>include_seconds</tt> to true if you want more detailed approximations when distance < 1 min, 29 secs
# Distances are reported base on the following table:
#
# 0 <-> 29 secs # => less than a minute
# 30 secs <-> 1 min, 29 secs # => 1 minute
# 1 min, 30 secs <-> 44 mins, 29 secs # => [2..44] minutes
# 44 mins, 30 secs <-> 89 mins, 29 secs # => about 1 hour
# 89 mins, 29 secs <-> 23 hrs, 59 mins, 29 secs # => about [2..24] hours
# 23 hrs, 59 mins, 29 secs <-> 47 hrs, 59 mins, 29 secs # => 1 day
# 47 hrs, 59 mins, 29 secs <-> 29 days, 23 hrs, 59 mins, 29 secs # => [2..29] days
# 29 days, 23 hrs, 59 mins, 30 secs <-> 59 days, 23 hrs, 59 mins, 29 secs # => about 1 month
# 59 days, 23 hrs, 59 mins, 30 secs <-> 1 yr minus 31 secs # => [2..12] months
# 1 yr minus 30 secs <-> 2 yrs minus 31 secs # => about 1 year
# 2 yrs minus 30 secs <-> max time or date # => over [2..X] years
#
# With include_seconds = true and the difference < 1 minute 29 seconds
# 0-4 secs # => less than 5 seconds
# 5-9 secs # => less than 10 seconds
# 10-19 secs # => less than 20 seconds
# 20-39 secs # => half a minute
# 40-59 secs # => less than a minute
# 60-89 secs # => 1 minute
#
# Examples:
#
# from_time = Time.now
# distance_of_time_in_words(from_time, from_time + 50.minutes) # => about 1 hour
# distance_of_time_in_words(from_time, from_time + 15.seconds) # => less than a minute

# Returns a set of select tags (one for year, month, and day) pre-selected for accessing a specified date-based attribute (identified by
# +method+) on an object assigned to the template (identified by +object+). It's possible to tailor the selects through the +options+ hash,
# which accepts all the keys that each of the individual select builders do (like :use_month_numbers for select_month) as well as a range of
# discard options. The discard options are <tt>:discard_year</tt>, <tt>:discard_month</tt> and <tt>:discard_day</tt>. Set to true, they'll
# drop the respective select. Discarding the month select will also automatically discard the day select. It's also possible to explicitly
# set the order of the tags using the <tt>:order</tt> option with an array of symbols <tt>:year</tt>, <tt>:month</tt> and <tt>:day</tt> in
# the desired order. Symbols may be omitted and the respective select is not included.
#
# Passing :disabled => true as part of the +options+ will make elements inaccessible for change.
#
# NOTE: Discarded selects will default to 1. So if no month select is available, January will be assumed.
#
# Examples:
#
# date_select("post", "written_on")
# date_select("post", "written_on", :start_year => 1995)
