Extracts the time when the first or last observation was taken, or
computes the range of the dates in a "timeDate" object.

a 'timeDate' object for min, max, and range.
not used.
Conceptually, the "timeDate" object is sorted before the
computations. In particular, start is not necessarilly the
first element of the object and similarly for the other functions.
min and max are equivalent to start end
end, respectively.
range returns the earlies and the latest times in a
"timeDate" object. The remaining functions return only one of
them, as suggested by their names.
