    File Name:          15.9.5.6.js
    ECMA Section: 15.9.5.6 Date.prototype.toLocaleDateString()
    Description:
    This function returns a string value. The contents of the string are
    implementation dependent, but are intended to represent the "date"
    portion of the Date in the current time zone in a convenient,
    human-readable form.   We can't test the content of the string,  
    but can verify that the string is parsable by Date.parse

    The toLocaleDateString function is not generic; it generates a runtime error
    if its 'this' value is not a Date object. Therefore it cannot be transferred
    to other kinds of objects for use as a method.
