> When dealing with date ranges, there are a lot of situations that describe "an object with rangeStart and rangeEnd properties".  It would be better to use a specific DateRange class, rather than a generic object with those properties.  Then, ArrayElementType can be used for example for the selectedRanges property, and it would be easier to define these ranges in mxml.
>  I've been using my own DateRange class internally on a project and it's been working great.  I have a createFromObject() method that converts a generic object with rangeStart/rangeEnd into a DateRange instance as well.
> Additionally, a createCursor() would be welcome functionality for looping over the dates in a given range, where the cursor.current would be an instance of Date.  Manipulating the cursor wouldn't really make sense here, but moveNext() and current makes looping through a date range easier.
