Add `before?` and `after?` methods to date and time classes
Equality comparisons between dates and times can take some extra time to comprehend. I tend to think of a date or time as "before" or "after" another date or time, but I naturally read `<` and `>` as "less than" and "greater than." This change seeks to make date/time comparisons more human readable.
