   @brief
   Represents a null calendar class; that is, a calendar which contains
   no information and provides no capabilities.

   The null calendar can be passed to functions which need a calendar object
   when there is no real calendar available yet.

   CalendarNull can be used to implement the null object design pattern:
   pass a CalendarNull object instead of passing a 0 pointer and checking
   for 0 with each access.
