Proposal for a new date and time units and formats

Veeks and millis are my suggestion for new date-time units and formats.
Here is a long read TL;DR about the date-time reform proposal:
https://github.com/bestia-dev/new_date_time_units_and_formats/

A super short explanation:
Years (beginning and end) remain the same as in the CE - common era calendar.
Months are obsolete and they are not used in the new format.
Veek is similar to week. One year has 52 full veeks with 7 days.
The exception is the last 53rd veek that has only 1 celebration day. For leap years there are 2 celebration days.
The new year always starts with 01v 1d - short pronunciation one-vee one-dee. Basically every year starts with a monday.
Veek-days are similar to week-days, but without names. They use just numbers and the d unit.
1d is the new name for Monday and 7d is the new name for Sunday.
The veek_date format is global for every language and looks exactly like this:
2021c 52v 2d
The year must have 4 digits from 1000c to 9999c. The unit c stands for CE - common era. Space.
The veek must have 2 digits from 01v to 53v. The unit v stands for veek. Space.
The day must have 1 digit from 1d to 7d. The unit d stands for day. End.

Hours, minutes and seconds are obsolete.
One day is divided into 1000md.
Millis is the short name for milliday. The unit is md.
For shorter time intervals there is microdays or micros, unit μd. 1md has 1000μd.

This crate contains functions to use with the new units veeks and millis.
It is dependent on the crate chrono for NaiveDate and NaiveTime.
