isbusday - True for dates that are business days

Syntax

Busday = isbusday(Date, Holiday, Weekend)

Arguments

`Date`	Date(s) being checked. Enter as a serial date number or date string. `Date` can contain multiple dates, but they must all be in the same format.
`Holiday`	(Optional) Vector of holidays and nontrading-day dates. All dates in `Holiday` must be the same format: either serial date numbers or date strings. (Using date numbers improves performance.) The `holidays` function supplies the default vector.
`Weekend`	(Optional) Vector of length 7, containing 0 and 1, the value 1 indicating weekend days. The first element of this vector corresponds to Sunday. Thus, when Saturday and Sunday form the weekend (default), then `Weekend = [1 0 0 0 0 0 1]`.
