  <para>The <code>boost::date_time::date_input_facet</code> enables users to have significant control how dates (and other gregorian objects) are streamed in. The date_input_facet is typedef'd in the <code>gregorian</code> namespace as <code>date_input_facet</code> and <code>wdate_input_facet</code>.
