[description]
The [package datefield] package provides the datefield widget which
is an enhanced text entry widget for the purpose of date entry. There
are three valid formats for the dates which can be entered:
[list_begin [enum]]
[enum] English form MM/DD/YYYY using [arg {-format "%m/%d/%Y"}] (default)
[enum] German form DD.MM.YYYY using [arg {-format "%d.%m.%Y"}]
[enum] ISO form YYYY-MM-DD using [arg {-format "%Y-%m-%d"}]
[list_end]
[para]
The datefield widget is, in fact, just an entry widget with
specialized bindings. This means all the command and options for an
entry widget apply equally here.
[section COMMANDS]

[call [cmd ::datefield::datefield] [arg widgetpath] [opt [arg options]]]

[section OPTIONS]
[list_begin definitions]
[call [arg -format]]

[para]

options.
