    Check a pair of months or seasons to see if both are valid members of a month or season pair.
    
    Month pairs are expected to be left to right, earliest to latest in time.  Similarly, seasons are also left to right, earliest to latest in time.  There is
    an oddity with seasons.  Winter is assigned a value of 1, spring 2, ..., fall and autumn 4.  Because winter can follow fall/autumn at the end of a calender year, a special test
    is made to see if |date=Fall-Winter yyyy (4-1) is the date.

    Check date format to see that it is one of the formats approved by WP:DATESNO or WP:DATERANGE. Exception: only allowed range separator is endash.
    Additionally, check the date to see that it is a real date: no 31 in 30-day months; no 29 February when not a leap year.  Months, both long-form and three
    character abbreviations, and seasons must be spelled correctly. Future years beyond next year are not allowed.
    
    If the date fails the fomat tests, this function returns false and does not return values for anchor_year and COinS_date.  When this happens, the date parameter is
    used in the COinS metadata and the CITEREF identifier gets its year from the year parameter if present otherwise CITEREF does not get a date value.
    
    Inputs:
    	date_string - date string from date-holding parameters (date, year, accessdate, embargo, archivedate, etc)
    
    Returns:
    	false if date string is not a real date; else
    	true, anchor_year, COinS_date
    		anchor_year can be used in CITEREF anchors
    		COinS_date is date_string without anchor_year disambiguator if any
