With no arguments, the dates of birth of each contact in the address book are listed.

If a <contact> is specified, the date of birth of that contact is shown.

If both a <contact> and a <date> are given, then the date is stored as the date of birth of that contact. The <date> parameter must be a valid date string parseable by Ruby's Date.parse function.
