/**
 * Similar to the Date (dd/mm/YY) data sorting plug-in, this plug-in offers 
 * additional  flexibility with support for spaces between the values and
 * either . or / notation for the separators.
 *
 * Please note that this plug-in is **deprecated*. The
 * [datetime](//datatables.net/blog/2014-12-18) plug-in provides enhanced
 * functionality and flexibility.
 *
 *  @name Date (dd . mm[ . YYYY]) 
 *  @summary Sort dates in the format `dd/mm/YY[YY]` (with optional spaces)
 *  @author [Robert Sedov?ek](http://galjot.si/)
 *  @deprecated
 *
 *  @example
 *    $('#example').dataTable( {
 *       columnDefs: [
 *         { type: 'date-eu', targets: 0 }
 *       ]
 *    } );
