/**
 * @constructor  TimeStep
 * The class TimeStep is an iterator for dates. You provide a start date and an
 * end date. The class itself determines the best scale (step size) based on the
 * provided start Date, end Date, and minimumStep.
 *
 * If minimumStep is provided, the step size is chosen as close as possible
 * to the minimumStep but larger than minimumStep. If minimumStep is not
 * provided, the scale is set to 1 DAY.
 * The minimumStep should correspond with the onscreen size of about 6 characters
 *
 * Alternatively, you can set a scale by hand.
 * After creation, you can initialize the class by executing first(). Then you
 * can iterate from the start date to the end date via next(). You can check if
 * the end date is reached with the function hasNext(). After each step, you can
 * retrieve the current date via getCurrent().
 * The TimeStep has scales ranging from milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours,
 * days, to years.
