[description]

The [package datefield] package provides the datefield widget which
is an enhanced text entry widget for the purpose of date entry. Only
valid dates of the form MM/DD/YYYY can be entered.

[para]

The datefield widget is, in fact, just an entry widget with
specialized bindings. This means all the command and options for an
entry widget apply equally here.

[section COMMANDS]

[list_begin definitions]
[call [cmd ::datefield::datefield] [arg widgetpath] [opt [arg options]]]

Creates and configures a date field widget.

[list_end]

[section OPTIONS]

See the [cmd entry] manual entry for details on all available options.

[example {
 package require datefield

 wm title . "Datefield example"
 proc DayOfWeek {args} {
     set now [clock scan $::myDate]
     set ::myDate2 [clock format $now -format %A]
