## Description

This class is used internally in counted date/time representations. It adds the floating point like features of infinities and not a number. It also provides mathmatical operations with consideration to special values following these rules:

    *  +infinity  -  infinity  == Not A Number (NAN)
    *   infinity  *  non-zero  == infinity
    *   infinity  *  zero      == NAN
    *  +infinity  * -integer   == -infinity
    *   infinity  /  infinity  == NAN
    *   infinity  *  infinity  == infinity
    *

    Operator allows for subtracting dissimilar `int_adapter` types. The return type will match that of the the calling object's type

18.     int_adapter operator-(const int_type rhs) const;

19.     int_adapter operator*(const int_adapter & rhs) const;

20.     int_adapter operator*(const int rhs) const;

    Provided for cases when automatic conversion from 'int' to '`int_adapter`' causes incorrect results.

21.     int_adapter operator/(const int_adapter & rhs) const;

22.     int_adapter operator/(const int rhs) const;

    Provided for cases when automatic conversion from 'int' to '`int_adapter`' causes incorrect results.

23.     int_adapter operator%(const int_adapter & rhs) const;

24.     int_adapter operator%(const int rhs) const;

    Provided for cases when automatic conversion from 'int' to '`int_adapter`' causes incorrect results.

    Returns either special value type or is_not_special.

13.     static int_type maxcount();

### `int_adapter` private member functions

1.     int compare(const int_adapter & rhs) const;

   returns -1, 0, 1, or 2 if 'this' is <, ==, >, or 'nan comparison' rhs
