## Description

Class that provides format based I/O facet for date types.

This class allows the formatting of dates by using format string. Format strings are:

- A => long_weekday_format - Full name Ex: Tuesday

- a => short_weekday_format - Three letter abbreviation Ex: Tue

- B => long_month_format - Full name Ex: October

- b => short_month_format - Three letter abbreviation Ex: Oct

- x => standard_format_specifier - defined by the locale

- Y-%b-%d => default_date_format - YYYY-Mon-dd

Default month format == b Default weekday format == a
