virtual bool hasOccurred ( const Date refDate = Date(),
boost::optional< bool >  includeRefDate = boost::none 
) const
virtual

returns true if an event has already occurred before a date

If includeRefDate is true, then an event has not occurred if its date is the same as the refDate, i.e. this method returns false if the event date is the same as the refDate.
