Comment (by youknowriad):

 Worth noting that we're feeling the need for these date handling utilities
 in the Gutenberg project. (see this WIP PR)
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/841

  - Do you think we should make the localized moment instance available?
 `const { moment } = wp.date;`? moment have several utilities that could be
 helpful without using the higher level API proposed here.

  - Do you think we should expose the local and the timezone in JS?
