Return the (signed fractional) number of years between the specified `beginDate` and `endDate` according to the ISDA 1/1 day‐count convention. If `beginDate < endDate`, then the result is one. If `beginDate == endDate`, then the result is zero. Note that reversing the order of `beginDate` and `endDate` negates the result; specifically, `|yearsDiff(b, e) + yearsDiff(e, b)| <= 1.0e‐15` for all dates `b` and `e`.
