java.time.LocalDate support for Freemarker

[Geoffrey De Smet]

Hi all,

Does Freemarker have plans to support using java.time.LocalDate instead 
of java.util.Date?

The latter is causing off-by-one errors for in our Freemarker templates
if executed in certain timezones (and adjusting the timezone opens 
another can of worms).
See https://github.com/jbake-org/jbake/issues/726

Also, many java.time methods, such as plusDays(3) or next monday,
would be very welcome in Freemarker templates.
