## Return the date/time input as a serial day number, with Jan 1, 0000
## defined as day 1.
##
## The integer part, @code{floor (@var{days})} counts the number of
## complete days in the date input.
##
## The fractional part, @code{rem (@var{days}, 1)} corresponds to the time
## on the given day.
##
## The input may be a date vector (see @code{datevec}), 
## datestr (see @code{datestr}), or directly specified as input.
##
## When processing input datestrings, @var{p} is the year at the start of the
## century to which two-digit years will be referenced.  If not specified, it
## defaults to the current year minus 50.
##
## The optional output @var{secs} holds the time on the specified day with
## greater precision than @var{days}.
##
## Notes:
##
## @itemize
## @item
## Years can be negative and/or fractional.
##
## @item
## Months below 1 are considered to be January.
##
## @item
## Days of the month start at 1.
##
## @item
## Days beyond the end of the month go into subsequent months.
##
## @item
## Days before the beginning of the month go to the previous month.
##
## @item
## Days can be fractional.

## @strong{Caution:} this function does not attempt to handle Julian
## calendars so dates before Octave 15, 1582 are wrong by as much
## as eleven days.  Also, be aware that only Roman Catholic countries
## adopted the calendar in 1582.  It took until 1924 for it to be
## adopted everywhere.  See the Wikipedia entry on the Gregorian
## calendar for more details.
##
## @strong{Warning:} leap seconds are ignored.  A table of leap seconds
## is available on the Wikipedia entry for leap seconds.
