docs: *
  @method is(<d>, [margin] = 0)
  @returns Boolean
  @short Returns true if the date is <d>.
  @extra <d> will accept a date object, timestamp, or text format. %is% additionally understands more generalized expressions like month/weekday names, 'today', etc, and compares to the precision implied in <d>. [margin] allows an extra margin of error in milliseconds.  For more, see @date_format.
  @example
  
  Date.create().is('July')               -> true or false?
  Date.create().is('1776')               -> false
  Date.create().is('today')              -> true
  Date.create().is('weekday')            -> true or false?
  Date.create().is('July 4, 1776')       -> false
  Date.create().is(-6106093200000)       -> false
  Date.create().is(new Date(1776, 6, 4)) -> false
