Description
Feature request, ability to change date formatting of header section where the date is displayed.
What I'm actually looking to use is the format that is shown on [material design](https://material.io/components/date-pickers#anatomy). The design I get though is mmm d, yyyy. This is for a single date.
A solution I'd like is either the ability to choose from a pre-selected set of date formats, or the ability to throw my own formatter in there.

Research direction
Start at MaterialDatePicker and trace the header section that renders the selected single date. Compare its output with the linked Material Design date-picker example, then determine how a configurable formatter or supported format choices would affect that header; done means the requested date format can be selected and is displayed correctly.
