#' @title Business Days Calculations and Utilities
#'
#' @description
#' In many countries the standard approach to price derivatives and fixed income
#' instruments involves the use of business days. In Brazil, for example, the
#' great majority of financial instruments are priced on business days counting
#' rules. Given that the use of business days is somehow vital to handle many
#' tasks. That's the reason why \code{bizdays} came up, to make these tasks
#' easier.
#' Excel's NETWORKDAYS is fairly at hand and once you have a list of
#' holidays it is quite easy to put your data into a spreadsheet and make
#' things happen.
#' \code{bizdays} brings that ease to R.
#'
#' Although R's users have similar feature in packages like \code{RQuantLib} and
#' \code{timeDate} it doesn't come for free. Users have to do some stackoverflow
#' in order to get this task accomplished. \code{bizdays} is a tiny package
#' dramatically focused on that simple task: support calculations involving
#' business days for a given list of holidays.
#'
#' \code{bizdays} was designed to work with all common date types and ISO
#' formatted character strings and all methods have support for vectorized
#' operations and handle the recycle rule.
