This adds the following features to dates.

date.bank_holiday?                        # Returns false
date.weekend?                             # Returns false
date.next_banking_day                     # Returns Monday, January 6, 2014
date.banking_day?                         # Returns true

date.bank_holiday?                        # Returns true
date.bank_holiday?(false)                 # Returns false
