This `class` provides a protocol for determining values based on dates according to derived implementations of specific day‐count conventions.

== Synopsis

== Description

The methods `firstDate` and `lastDate` define a date range for which calculations are valid, to reflect the valid range of, say, a calendar required for the computations.
