🐛 [BUG]: date.formatDate does not allow [ ] in format string

See original GitHub issue

What happened?

So the token matcher hits on [ ] and [ ] alone, ( ) and { } are a lot in a format string only [ ] does not work.

https://github.com/quasarframework/quasar/blob/82adfbd8997066bec2fcee09d3435f027eafe30e/ui/src/utils/date.js#L13

What did you expect to happen?

If the other kinds of brackets work [ ] should also work for formatting.

Until you mentioned I was convinced it is somewhere in the docs. I’ll check and make a PR if it is missing.
