The equals operator should support date datatype

Currently, for querying on "date" datatypes, we can only use "range" or "near" operators. The "equals" operator supports querying only "boolean" and "objectId" values, and not date values. If we want to do equality based matching for date datatypes, then we can leverage "range" using "gt" and "lt" to find it. However this might be sub-optimal in some cases. Therefore, this is a feature request for having equals operator support date datatype (in addition to boolean and objectId).
