/**
* This class contains functionality used by the TM class
* in the version 2.3.0, 2.3.1, and 2.4 packages
*
* Note: The class description below has been excerpted from the Hl7 2.4 documentation. Sectional
* references made below also refer to the same documentation.
*
* Format: HH[MM[SS[.S[S[S[S]]]]]][+/-ZZZZ]
* In prior versions of HL7, this data type was always specified to be in the
* format HHMM[SS[.SSSS]][+/-ZZZZ] using a 24 hour clock notation. In the
* current and future versions, the precision of a time may be expressed by
* limiting the number of digits used with the format specification as shown
* above. By site-specific agreement, HHMM[SS[.SSSS]][+/-ZZZZ] may be used where
* backward compatibility must be maintained.
* Thus, HH is used to specify a precision of "hour," HHMM is used to specify a
* precision of "minute," HHMMSS is used to specify a precision of seconds, and
* HHMMSS.SSSS is used to specify a precision of ten-thousandths of a second.
* In each of these cases, the time zone is an optional component. The fractional
* seconds could be sent by a transmitter who requires greater precision than whole
* seconds. Fractional representations of minutes, hours or other higher-order units
* of time are not permitted.
* Note: The time zone [+/-ZZZZ], when used, is restricted to legally-defined time zones
* and is represented in HHMM format.
* The time zone of the sender may be sent optionally as an offset from the coordinated
* universal time (previously known as Greenwich Mean Time). Where the time zone
* is not present in a particular TM field but is included as part of the date/time
* field in the MSH segment, the MSH value will be used as the default time zone.
* Otherwise, the time is understood to refer to the local time of the sender.
* Midnight is represented as 0000.
* Examples:|235959+1100| 1 second before midnight in a time zone eleven hours
* ahead of Universal Coordinated Time (i.e., east of Greenwich).
* |0800| Eight AM, local time of the sender.
* |093544.2312| 44.2312 seconds after Nine thirty-five AM, local time of sender.
* |13| 1pm (with a precision of hours), local time of sender.
