I have a use case where I want to add some days to an issue date in a notice.

We either need a dt_from_string wrapper in our template plugin like bug 33029
proposes or allow passing options like add_days => X to KohaDates which looks
nicer but is less generic. Perhaps we can do both btw ! These approaches each
have their benefits and do not exclude each other.

Compare the 33029 approach
    [% KohaDates.datetime_from_string(checkout.issuedate).add( days => 3) |
$KohaDates %]
with the approch of this report
    [% checkout.issuedate | $KohaDates add_days => 3 %]

The latter notation is definitely shorter and prettier in my use case and does
only need a few lines more.
