At Sun Tribe Trading we gather the energy production of solar generators from various sources (typically APIs from the manufacturers
of solar energy equipment) and submit the data to regulatory authorities. It's important that we accurately determine the energy data we need
to gather based on the data we already have on hand and the current reporting period. Date interval operations are central to this
computation.

Before coding, you should be comfortable with the concept of a [time interval](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Time_intervals), and
