;    
; :Returns:
;    The program returns a list of months as a string or string array, depending upon 
;    which keywords are set.
;    
; :Params:
;    index: in, required, type=integer
;         The index of the month you are interested in returning. An integer or
;         integer array from 1 to 12.
;       
; :Keywords:
;    abbreviation: in, optional, type=boolean, default=0
;          Set this keyword if you wish to return the month as a three letter abbreviation,
;          for example, "aug". Keywords may be used in conjunction with other keywords.
;    allcaps: in, optional, type=boolean, default=0
;          Set this keyword if you wish to return the month in all capital letters,
;          for example, "AUGUST". Keywords may be used in conjunction with other keywords.
;    firstletter: in, optional, type=boolean, default=0
;          Set this keyword if you wish to return the month as with its first letter capitalized,
;          for example, "August". Keywords may be used in conjunction with other keywords.
;    lowcase: in, optional, type=boolean, default=0
;          Set this keyword if you wish to return the month in all lower case letters,
;          for example, "august". Keywords may be used in conjunction with other keywords.
