Adds a public Month enum.

Implementation for a Month enum, allowing -ser|de-rialization.
The implementation mostly mirrors the Weekday enum.
It only adds the enum with minimal integration so as to
not cause any backwards compatibility issue.
A deeper integration should be up to discussion.
Suggested in Issue #202
