date type?

A number of years back I worked on a big JavaScript library where we needed all kinds of date conversion, formatting, validation, and calculations, and we ended up with close to 50 functions, and there was still tons more to do. The basic functions aren't too hard to roll on your own, it's just that when you consider things like time zones and leap years and business days and so on, the list quickly grows!

I had thought JavaScript already had those kind of functions built in. I almost wrote something about it but then thought about one of the developers of QB64PE.
