    # The Date Helper primarily creates select/option tags for different kinds of dates and times or date and time
    # 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 <tt>select_month</tt> 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 <tt>select_month</tt> method would use simply "date" (which can be overwritten using <tt>:prefix</tt>) instead
    #   of "date[month]".
    module DateHelper
      # Reports the approximate distance in time between two Time, Date or DateTime objects or integers as seconds.

      # * <tt>:use_two_digit_numbers</tt> - Set to true if you want to display two digit month and day numbers (e.g.
      #   "02" instead of "February" and "08" instead of "8").
      # * <tt>:use_short_month</tt>   - Set to true if you want to use abbreviated month names instead of full
      #   month names (e.g. "Feb" instead of "February").
      # * <tt>:add_month_numbers</tt>  - Set to true if you want to use both month numbers and month names (e.g.
      #   "2 - February" instead of "February").
      # * <tt>:use_month_names</tt>   - Set to an array with 12 month names if you want to customize month names.
      #   Note: You can also use Rails' i18n functionality for this.
      # * <tt>:date_separator</tt>    - Specifies a string to separate the date fields. Default is "" (i.e. nothing).
      # * <tt>:start_year</tt>        - Set the start year for the year select. Default is <tt>Time.now.year - 5</tt>.
      # * <tt>:end_year</tt>          - Set the end year for the year select. Default is <tt>Time.now.year + 5</tt>.
      # * <tt>:discard_day</tt>       - Set to true if you don't want to show a day select. This includes the day
      #   as a hidden field instead of showing a select field. Also note that this implicitly sets the day to be the
      #   first of the given month in order to not create invalid dates like 31 February.

      #   for <tt>:year</tt>, <tt>:month</tt>, <tt>:day</tt>, <tt>:hour</tt>, <tt>:minute</tt> and <tt>:second</tt>.
      #   Setting this option prepends a select option with a generic prompt  (Day, Month, Year, Hour, Minute, Seconds)
