Get date by holiday string

Hello! I feel like this is a dumb question but am just not seeing anything about it in the readme.

Is there a method that supports something like us_holidays.get('Thanksgiving')?

For example if I wanted to add the day after Thanksgiving to my custom calendar, I will need to first get that holiday, which feels like an odd thing to do manually with a library that handles holidays -

class MyCal(holidays.UnitedStates):
    def _populate(self, year):
        holidays.UnitedStates._populate(self, year)
        # Add Friday after Thanksgiving
        thanksgiving = date(year, 11, 1) + rd(weekday=TH(+4))
        thanksgiving_friday = thanksgiving + rd(days=1)
        self[thanksgiving_friday] = 'Thanksgiving Friday'

(this is just an example, I know I can get the day other ways)

Hi, thank you for your interest in holidays library. I’ve added get_named(key) method, receiving a complete or partial string, which will be checked against all currently available holidays (ie: depending on initialization), applying a case insensitive match. Results are returned in a list containing all matched dates.

Pushed on beta branch, thank you again, cheers! dr-p
