Fix the `--force` flag, which essentially means that it must ignore missing files.
Update the help documentation regarding this.

The file stat printing function is very redundant and should be combined into the simulate function.
I noticed that the date based pre-processing is only in the printing and is not yet toggling the flags.
Begin moving this over.
I decided to make a separate function to handle this given its size.

Reset the `!(^)` check back to a `==`.
The compiler should be able to determine the most efficient operation and using plain `==` is just more readable.

Add some additional help messages describing how  the `<` and `>` characters must be quoted to prevent them being used as redirect characters.

Is `stop_year` not being used when it should be?
Plan on investigating this.

Be more consistent with the parameter handling strings in the program unit tests.

Add the unit tests for `--force`.
