/**
 * @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.

 * Custom gestures
 * ==============================
 *
 * Gesture object
 * --------------------
 * The object structure of a gesture:
 *
 * { name: 'mygesture',
 *   index: 1337,
 *   defaults: {
 *     mygesture_option: true
 *   }
 *   handler: function(type, ev, inst) {
 *     // trigger gesture event
 *     inst.trigger(this.name, ev);
 *   }
 * }

 * @param   {String}    name
 * this should be the name of the gesture, lowercase
 * it is also being used to disable/enable the gesture per instance config.
 *
 * @param   {Number}    [index=1000]
 * the index of the gesture, where it is going to be in the stack of gestures detection
 * like when you build an gesture that depends on the drag gesture, it is a good
 * idea to place it after the index of the drag gesture.
 *
 * @param   {Object}    [defaults={}]
 * the default settings of the gesture. these are added to the instance settings,
 * and can be overruled per instance. you can also add the name of the gesture,
 * but this is also added by default (and set to true).
 *
 * @param   {Function}  handler
 * this handles the gesture detection of your custom gesture and receives the
 * following arguments:
 *
 *      @param  {Object}    eventData
 *      event data containing the following properties:
 *          timeStamp   {Number}        time the event occurred
 *          target      {HTMLElement}   target element
 *          touches     {Array}         touches (fingers, pointers, mouse) on the screen
 *          pointerType {String}        kind of pointer that was used. matches Hammer.POINTER_MOUSE|TOUCH
 *          center      {Object}        center position of the touches. contains pageX and pageY
 *          deltaTime   {Number}        the total time of the touches in the screen
 *          deltaX      {Number}        the delta on x axis we haved moved
 *          deltaY      {Number}        the delta on y axis we haved moved
 *          velocityX   {Number}        the velocity on the x
 *          velocityY   {Number}        the velocity on y
 *          angle       {Number}        the angle we are moving
 *          direction   {String}        the direction we are moving. matches Hammer.DIRECTION_UP|DOWN|LEFT|RIGHT
 *          distance    {Number}        the distance we haved moved
 *          scale       {Number}        scaling of the touches, needs 2 touches
 *          rotation    {Number}        rotation of the touches, needs 2 touches *
 *          eventType   {String}        matches Hammer.EVENT_START|MOVE|END
 *          srcEvent    {Object}        the source event, like TouchStart or MouseDown *
 *          startEvent  {Object}        contains the same properties as above,
 *                                      but from the first touch. this is used to calculate
 *                                      distances, deltaTime, scaling etc
 *
 *      @param  {Hammer.Instance}    inst
 *      the instance we are doing the detection for. you can get the options from
 *      the inst.options object and trigger the gesture event by calling inst.trigger
 *
 *
 * Handle gestures
 * --------------------
 * inside the handler you can get/set Hammer.detection.current. This is the current
 * detection session. It has the following properties
 *      @param  {String}    name
 *      contains the name of the gesture we have detected. it has not a real function,
 *      only to check in other gestures if something is detected.
 *      like in the drag gesture we set it to 'drag' and in the swipe gesture we can
 *      check if the current gesture is 'drag' by accessing Hammer.detection.current.name
 *
 *      @readonly
 *      @param  {Hammer.Instance}    inst
 *      the instance we do the detection for
 *
 *      @readonly
 *      @param  {Object}    startEvent
 *      contains the properties of the first gesture detection in this session.
 *      Used for calculations about timing, distance, etc.
 *
 *      @readonly
 *      @param  {Object}    lastEvent
 *      contains all the properties of the last gesture detect in this session.
 *
 * after the gesture detection session has been completed (user has released the screen)
 * the Hammer.detection.current object is copied into Hammer.detection.previous,
 * this is usefull for gestures like doubletap, where you need to know if the
 * previous gesture was a tap
 *
 * options that have been set by the instance can be received by calling inst.options
 *
 * You can trigger a gesture event by calling inst.trigger("mygesture", event).
 * The first param is the name of your gesture, the second the event argument
 *
 *
 * Register gestures
 * --------------------
 * When an gesture is added to the Hammer.gestures object, it is auto registered
 * at the setup of the first Hammer instance. You can also call Hammer.detection.register
 * manually and pass your gesture object as a param
 *
