2205239889,PR_kwDOAMm_X85qoWZT,8873,Add dt.date to plottable types,24508496,closed,0,,,6,2024-03-25T09:07:33Z,2024-03-29T14:35:44Z,2024-03-29T14:35:41Z,CONTRIBUTOR,,0,pydata/xarray/pulls/8873,"Simply adds `datetime.date` to plottable types in `_ensure_plottable` in *plot/utils.py*L675 to enable the plotting of dates. 

Matplotlib handles `date` types automatically, so I think there is no other change needed.

Do I need to add a test for this? Any pointers on where I would put it that?
