I think it is too late.
JIS X 0301 update schedule is not shown.

However, we can wait vendors such as Microsoft.
Microsoft also needs the single letter abbreviation of Reiwa.

I hope some guideline including the abbreviation will appear.

```

## Expected result and the reason why you expect

```
irb(main):002:0> require 'date'

irb(main):003:0> Date.new(2019, 5, 1).jisx0301

### reason

* new era (Reiwa?) starts from 2019/05/01
