Add various utility date related expression functions

[PerikiyoXD]

I'd like to have weekday(), year(), day(), month() functions as defaults

What is the current behavior?

What is the expected behavior?

Have default expression functions for:

• Year: year() -> '2023'
• Day Number: day() -> '19'
• Month: month() -> 'January'
• Week Day: weekday() -> 'Monday'

How would you reproduce the current behavior (if this is a bug)?

Provide the test code and the tested page URL (if applicable)

I know I can implement custom functions myself, but I think having these functions by default wouldn't hurt and would be good enough by default, since "today()" is just a raw JS date. Adding those functions would allow easy string construction for some contexts that need date handling.

I think having these functions:

• currentMonthName
• currentDayName
• currentDay

is enough to handle most date building cases.

You can suggest other names if these don't really make much sense, as probably there are better alternatives.

Thanks for adding the requested functionality!

Although, I would like to ask one more thing on this topic. If you have a look at the commit I created that didn't make it to the PR (fafb62c), I added "names" related to dates.

I didn't clarify the reason behind the utility functions request. The end goal was to generate a string like "Monday, July 20, 2023" in an expression question.

Anyways, we got half of the requested functions. I hope you can take a look at the commit again and implement the name-related functions.

Thank you!
