Just Another Date Library

A library with some miscellaneous date things. Some methods were created with the intention of making them more clear. For example, Date.prototype.getMonth() returning a month index vs month() returning the actual name of the month, and Date.prototype.getDate() sounding like it returns the whole date vs day() actually returning the day of the month.
