DateTime and other constructors to support contracts

[yurkimus]

Feature Request

Ability to do:

new DateTime({ ... })

new DateTime(new DateTime(...))

As far as JS is dynamic and relies mostly on object's shapes, which is working overall in the language e.g.: Promise, URL, Response etc. that would be great to see the same possibility in the driver which is supposed to be used with JS.

I may utilise driver's core in places I want to transform it's output, for example datetime(), instead of manually mapping all the properties to the Date object.

Pitch

• Less code to write
• Less code to read
• Less code to maintain on dev-end
• This is nature of ecmascript
• Easy to overload both actual function body and typescript definitions
• Take a look at the following:

  new Intl.DateTime('en').format(new DateTime(node.createdAt).toStandardDate())

Hello @yurkimus ! Thank you for the feature request.

I think this a very good suggestion, and I will card it up for development. I'd anticipate we can deliver it in an early minor version release to the upcoming 6.x release!
