Hi,

Thanks a lot! It's really easy. Guess it's Friday evening kind of 
problem as I searched for date_input_facet and failed. :( Maybe, it 
should be emphasized in docs that date_time_input_facet should be used 
for both date's and dates_time's? Just to add example with date input?

Anyway, thanks a lot!
