I actually opened a pull request in Rails to add this to ActiveSupport, but they told me to come here!

Feature #14877: Calculate age in Date class

Seems like there's enough complexity in determining the right values and it's something a ton of apps have to address. I've seen a bunch of StackOverflow and other blog posts attempt to address this, not all of them accurately.

Specifically age would calculate the number of years since a person's birthdate (or how old they are).

So if today is 2018, 6, 28:
`Date.new(2016, 3, 6).age #=> 2`
`Date.new(2016, 6, 29).age #=> 1`
