That process would be possible, but because of various computational
complexity issues it would only be 1 or 2 percent faster than simply
running Analog with a date range of one day for each one day period you
want numbers for. Since there is so little to be gained, it is simpler to
just run Analog many times.

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
