Chronic::Parser#initialize

options - An optional Hash of configuration options:
       :context - If your string represents a birthday, you can set
                  this value to :past and if an ambiguous string is
                  given, it will assume it is in the past.
       :now - Time, all computations will be based off of time
              instead of Time.now.
       :hours24 - Time will be parsed as it would be 24 hour clock.
       :week_start - By default, the parser assesses weeks start on
                 sunday but you can change this value to :monday if
                 needed.
       :guess - By default the parser will guess a single point in time
                for the given date or time. If you'd rather have the
                entire time span returned, set this to false
                and a Chronic::Span will be returned. Setting :guess to :end
                will return last time from Span, to :middle for middle (same as just true)
                and :begin for first time from span.
       :ambiguous_time_range - If an Integer is given, ambiguous times
                 (like 5:00) will be assumed to be within the range of
                 that time in the AM to that time in the PM. For
                 example, if you set it to `7`, then the parser will
                 look for the time between 7am and 7pm. In the case of
                 5:00, it would assume that means 5:00pm. If `:none`
                 is given, no assumption will be made, and the first
                 matching instance of that time will be used.
       :endian_precedence - By default, Chronic will parse "03/04/2011"
                as the fourth day of the third month. Alternatively you
                can tell Chronic to parse this as the third day of the
                fourth month by setting this to [:little, :middle].
       :ambiguous_year_future_bias - When parsing two digit years
                (ie 79) unlike Rubys Time class, Chronic will attempt
                to assume the full year using this figure. Chronic will
                look x amount of years into the future and past. If the
                two digit year is `now + x years` it's assumed to be the
                future, `now - x years` is assumed to be the past.
