Function Names
rescheduleDescription
This function reschedules the date provided to a different date. At least 3 parameters are required: The date, and at least one pair
of two rescheduling parameters. Additional pairs of rescheduling parameters can be added which is useful to make a big rescheduling
first, e.g. next year, followed by a smaller rescheduling, e.g. the 2nd week in that year.
The parameters are not case-senstitive.
