 It's possible for plugins to enqueue the jQuery UI Datepicker widget, but
 doing so does not include any styling, and there is no recommended styling
 with it to match the color schemes in WordPress's administration area.

 This is good in that developers can roll their own to match their needs,
 but it's bad in that there is no canonical recommended experience for end-
 users of those plugins.

 Right now, the only real viable option is using the kinda-outdated jQuery
 UI styling generator as a starting off point, and working backwards from
 there. Even though WordPress core doesn't currently use the jQuery UI
 Datepicker internally, it might go a long way towards improving date &
 time experiences (I'm looking at you, post publish time.)
