In Ruby, is there a standard class or gem to work with dates that can be – but are not required to be – historical in nature? The dates have precision (to the nearest million years, decade, century, year, month, second, etc). For example:
- 20th century
- 2000’s
- 5th century, BCE
- 1920’s
- June, 1945
- 4.6 million years ago
- 1988-07-11 06:45:08

I didn’t manage to find anything that met my needs, so created the CarbonDate Ruby gem.
