/**
 Returns the calendarIdentifier of calendars that is used by this library for date calculation.
 @see AZ_setDefaultCalendarIdentifier: for more details.
 */
+ (NSString *)AZ_defaultCalendarIdentifier;
/**
 Sets the calendarIdentifier of calendars that is used by this library for date calculation.
 You can specify any calendarIdentifiers predefined by NSLocale. If you provide nil, the library uses
 [NSCalendar currentCalendar]. Default value is nil.

 You can't provide individual calendars for individual date objects. If you need to perform such
 complicated date calculations, you should rather create calendars on your own.
