`Date`

A literal Date constant value, of type curam.util.type.Date.

The Date 's value is specified in the form yyyy-mm-dd.

Note: There is intentionally no function in CER to obtain the current date - such a function would be volatile in that today it returns one value, tomorrow a different value.

Volatile functions are forbidden in CER, as if a function's result can change, it could mean that previously-performed calculations would now be "wrong".
