--[[

use Module:Citation/CS1/Configuration to tell {{as of}} the article date format which cs1|2 gets from one of the
{{use xxx dates}} templates.  The date format string returned from ~/Configuration is either of 'dmy' or 'mdy'
with a suffix.  The suffix is either the content of the {{use xxx dates}} parameter |cs1-dates= or 'all'.  In
this module, the suffix is ignored.  When the article doesn't have a {{use xxx dates}} template, ~/Configuration
returns nil.

When article format is 'dmy', this module returns an enpty string.  When article format is 'mdy', the module
translates that to 'us' and returns that string.
