  Formats a date value to a string based on the requested format.
  
  # Usage
  
      expression | date[:format]
  
  where `expression` is a date object or a number (milliseconds since UTC epoch) and
  `format` indicates which date/time components to include:
  
   | Component | Symbol | Short Form   | Long Form         | Numeric   | 2-digit   |
   |-----------|:------:|--------------|-------------------|-----------|-----------|
   | era       |   G    | G (AD)       | GGGG (Anno Domini)| -         | -         |
   | year      |   y    | -            | -                 | y (2015)  | yy (15)   |
   | month     |   M    | MMM (Sep)    | MMMM (September)  | M (9)     | MM (09)   |
   | day       |   d    | -            | -                 | d (3)     | dd (03)   |
   | weekday   |   E    | EEE (Sun)    | EEEE (Sunday)     | -         | -         |
   | hour      |   j    | -            | -                 | j (13)    | jj (13)   |
   | hour12    |   h    | -            | -                 | h (1 PM)  | hh (01 PM)|
   | hour24    |   H    | -            | -                 | H (13)    | HH (13)   |
   | minute    |   m    | -            | -                 | m (5)     | mm (05)   |
   | second    |   s    | -            | -                 | s (9)     | ss (09)   |
   | timezone  |   z    | -            | z (Pacific Standard Time)| -  | -         |
   | timezone  |   Z    | Z (GMT-8:00) | -                 | -         | -         |
  
  In javascript, only the components specified will be respected (not the ordering,
  punctuations, ...) and details of the the formatting will be dependent on the locale.
  On the other hand in Dart version, you can also include quoted text as well as some extra
  date/time components such as quarter. For more information see:
  https://api.dartlang.org/apidocs/channels/stable/dartdoc-viewer/intl/intl.DateFormat.
  
  `format` can also be one of the following predefined formats:
  
   - `'medium'`: equivalent to `'yMMMdjms'` (e.g. Sep 3, 2010, 12:05:08 PM for en-US)
   - `'short'`: equivalent to `'yMdjm'` (e.g. 9/3/2010, 12:05 PM for en-US)
   - `'fullDate'`: equivalent to `'yMMMMEEEEd'` (e.g. Friday, September 3, 2010 for en-US)
   - `'longDate'`: equivalent to `'yMMMMd'` (e.g. September 3, 2010)
   - `'mediumDate'`: equivalent to `'yMMMd'` (e.g. Sep 3, 2010 for en-US)
   - `'shortDate'`: equivalent to `'yMd'` (e.g. 9/3/2010 for en-US)
   - `'mediumTime'`: equivalent to `'jms'` (e.g. 12:05:08 PM for en-US)
   - `'shortTime'`: equivalent to `'jm'` (e.g. 12:05 PM for en-US)
  
  Timezone of the formatted text will be the local system timezone of the end-users machine.
  
  # Examples
  
  Assuming `dateObj` is (year: 2015, month: 6, day: 15, hour: 21, minute: 43, second: 11)
  in the _local_ time and locale is 'en-US':
  
      {{ dateObj | date }}               // output is 'Jun 15, 2015'
      {{ dateObj | date:'medium' }}      // output is 'Jun 15, 2015, 9:43:11 PM'
      {{ dateObj | date:'shortTime' }}   // output is '9:43 PM'
      {{ dateObj | date:'mmss' }}        // output is '43:11'
