ES spec-compliant shim for `Date`. Invoke its "shim" method to shim `Date` if it is unavailable or noncompliant.

This package implements the [es-shim API](https://github.com/es-shims/api) “multi” interface, v3. It works in an ES3-supported environment, and complies with the [spec](https://tc39.es/proposal-promise-any/#sec-date).

Most common usage:
```js
var assert = require('assert');

var shims = require('date');

assert.deepEqual(shims, [
	'Date',
	'Date.prototype.getFullYear',
	'Date.prototype.getMonth',
	'Date.prototype.getDate',
	'Date.prototype.getUTCDate',
	'Date.prototype.getUTCFullYear',
	'Date.prototype.getUTCMonth',
	'Date.prototype.toUTCString',
	'Date.prototype.toDateString',
	'Date.prototype.toString',
	'Date.prototype.toISOString',
	'Date.prototype.toJSON',
	'Date.now',
	'Date.parse',
]);

require('date/auto'); // will be a no-op if not needed

assert.ok(new Date() instanceof Date);
assert.equal(typeof Date.now(), 'number');

// etc, with all the Date methods you expect
```

## Tests
