All other facades have an alias (except for ParallelTesting - which I don't think needs one).
I think having an alias for this makes sense as it can by handy in views to be able to work with dates that aren't always coming from a model where a cast is usable and an alias makes this nicer as we don't need to import the namespace. It is also handy in tinker to just call
Date::parse()
to test some stuff on the fly.Related: laravel/docs#6897
