-----------------------------+-------------------------
 With the REST API, it's now possible to receive raw dates (ISO8601 format)
 on the frontend, without having the site's date preferences applied.

 Formatting dates is a pain in JavaScript, and having it match the site
 preferences and translations is a pain too. We should introduce a helper
 library to simplify this, based on our PHP `date_i18n()` and
 `human_time_diff()` functions.
