        This code adds a few small extensions to Django's DateField, to handle both
        approximate dates (e.g. "March 1963") and default year dates (e.g. assume
        "24th June" is the most recent such).
        
        example contains a hopefully self-contained Django project that simply shows
        off a form with these methods of entry.
        
        Approximate dates
        =================
        
        A new object, ApproximateDate, is used to represent dates that might not have a
        month or a day. ApproximateDateField is the model field used to represent these
        objects in a Model, and ApproximateDateFormField is the field used in a Django
        form. Everything should work seamlessly simply by specifying a model field as
        ApproximateDateField rather than DateField.
        
        Default year dates
        ==================
        
        PrettyDateField is a form field to be used on DateField model fields. It takes
        one argument, future, which is a nullable boolean. If True, a date input that
        is missing a year will be taken to be the next possible occurrence of that date
        - e.g. on 24th November 2009, entering 24th December will be taken to be
        2009-12-24, whilst entering 3rd March will be taken to be 2010-03-03. If future
        is False, the reverse occurs, with year-less dates being assumed to be the
        closest occurrence of that date in the past.
        
        If future is not set, then PrettyDateField acts the same as a DateField, only
        allows suffixes on ordinals, and assumes D/M/Y rather than M/D/Y. 
        
        Todo
        ====
        
        Improve date parsing to take more inputs like my traintimes.org.uk PHP, such as
        "next Friday".
        
        
        Any queries or comments, do get in touch. Something's probably broken, as I tried
        to tidy up the code a little for public release :)
