Description
I have a use case where it would be helpful to use gspread to compare changes before and after a revision change.
It looks like the Drive API supports retrieving previous revisions of a document.
Could you add this feature request to be able to load a sheet from a previous date.

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by reviewing gspread’s existing sheet-loading entry point and the Drive API’s revision retrieval; clarify how a date maps to a revision and how the previous sheet is returned. Done means callers can load a sheet from an earlier date for comparison.
