Support for Date Range Picker?

[dwasyl]

I've seen this come up in the past, but without much explanation as to why it was being requested.

We often use the Date Range Picker (www.daterangepicker.com / https://github.com/dangrossman/daterangepicker) and it would be great if this could be incorporated for date range selection. It has a simple UI that gets used often. The actual format of the input is a bit different though, they use a single string input with ("From Date - To Date").

Clearly just a nice to have, this would be a nice alternative to the dual date selector boxes that are currently used, and enable us to have more consistency with regards to date range selection.
