## Parse a character period specification

### Description

The period is parsed into frequency and period and returned as a named list.

### Usage

    parse_period(period)

### Arguments

`period` | A character specification used for time-based grouping. The general format to use is `"frequency period"` where frequency is a number like 1 or 2, and period is an interval like weekly or yearly. There must be a space between the two. Note that you can pass the specification in a flexible way: 1 Year: `'1 year'` / `'1 Y'` / `'1 yearly'` / `'yearly'` This shorthand is available for year, quarter, month, day, hour, minute, second, millisecond and microsecond periodicities. Additionally, you have the option of passing in a vector of dates to use as custom and more flexible boundaries.

### Examples

    parse_period('2 day')
