  Examples: |

      >>> d = cf.dt(2002, 6, 16)
      >>> d == cf.dtge(1990, 1, 1)
      True
      >>> d == cf.dtge(2002, 6, 16)
      True
      >>> d == cf.dtge('2100-1-1')
      False
      >>> d == cf.dtge('2001-1-1') & cf.dtle(2010, 12, 31)
      True

  The last example is equivalent to:

      >>> d == cf.wi(cf.dt(2001, 1, 1), cf.dt('2010-12-31'))
      True
