Format for Dates

Programmers (and code reviewers) must enter dates when documenting code. These dates indicate, for example, when code has been reviewed, and when a list of ``to do'' tasks was last updated.6.13AIPS++ uses a single mandatory format for expressing dates. It has the virtue of being unambiguous, it is comprehensible to readers around the world, and it is also used by the project's version control system RCS. This format is yyyy/mm/dd. An example is 1995/02/27.
