=====================
Cron expression parser in Go language (golang).
Given a cron expression and a time stamp, you can get the next time stamp which satisfy the cron expression.
Given a cron expression and a time stamp, you can get the next time stamp which satisfies the cron expression.
In another project, I decided to use Cron syntax to encode scheduling information. Thus this standalone library to parse and apply time stamps to cron expressions.

The time-matching algorithm in this implementation is efficient, it avoids as much as possible to guess the next matching time stamp, a common technique seen in a number of implementations out there.

Given a time stamp `fromTime`, return a slice of `n` closest following time stamps which match the cron expression string `cronLine`. The time stamps in the returned slice are in chronological ascending order.
Example:
cronexpression.NextTimeN("0 0 0 29 2 ? *", time.Now(), 5)
will result in the following time stamps being returned (as of 2013-08-30):
