/** Represent a date as a short/default/long/full string
*
* The input value needs to be in a form that the
* {@link https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date Date object}
* can process using its single-argument form, `new Date(value)`.
*
* @memberof Formatters
* @param {number|string} value - Either a Unix epoch time in milliseconds, or a string value representing a date
* @param {string} [type='default'] - One of `'short'`, `'default'`, `'long'` , or `full`
*
* @example
* var mf = new MessageFormat(['en', 'fi']);
*
* mf.compile('Today is {T, date}')({ T: Date.now() })
* // 'Today is Feb 21, 2016'
*
* mf.compile('Tänään on {T, date}', 'fi')({ T: Date.now() })
* // 'Tänään on 21. helmikuuta 2016'
*
* mf.compile('Unix time started on {T, date, full}')({ T: 0 })
* // 'Unix time started on Thursday, January 1, 1970'
*
* var cf = mf.compile('{sys} became operational on {d0, date, short}');
* cf({ sys: 'HAL 9000', d0: '12 January 1999' })
* // 'HAL 9000 became operational on 1/12/1999'
