Summary: Compute Function to return Year / Month / Day

Right now the temporal compute functions include year / month / day as separate
functions. AFAICT in the implementation these all internally create a struct
containing year/month/day using the date library and then return only one of
the components.
>From a pure efficiency perspective it might be best to just return all as one
>StructArray and allow the user to unpack the values. From a user perspective,
>I also typically want year / month / day to be bundled together, so one
>function call to get all three in one pass would be ideal
This might be extendable down to the timestamp structure as well
