 # ScheduleRun is a helper class that modelizes the run directives of a schedule
 # resource.
 #
 # It can have 3 levels:
 #
 # * full
 # * differential
 # * incremental
 #
 # Each ScheduleRun instance holds info about the execution time of the schedule:
 #
 # * month specification is optional and is described by:
 #   - month: full name (eg april) | month name three first letters (eg jul)
 #   - month_range: month-month
 #   - monthly: 'monthly'
 # * day specification is required and is described by:
 #   - week_number (optional): weeks number in full text (eg: third, fourth)
 #   - week_range (optional): week_number-week_number
 #   - day: first three letters of day (eg: mon, fri)
 #   - day_range: day-day
 # * time specification is required and is described by:
 #   - 24h time (eg: 03:00)
 #
 # Schedule Run examples:
 #
 #  Level=Full monthly first mon at 12:21
 #  Level=Full first sun at 12:34
 #  Level=Differential second-fifth sat at 15:23
 #  Level=Incremental  mon-sat at 08:00
