Datepicker: does not announce to AT with keyboard shortcuts

Description
When using VoiceOver and the Command-LEFT and Command-RIGHT keys to move the highlighted date in the date picker a blind user would not be aware of which day is selected.
Also, the user is not aware what the currently selected year or month is.
Also when changing the year or month using the keyboard shortcuts, no announcements are made.

Proposed fix in https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/pull/1127
I made the title a little more generic here because this behavior is not specific to VoiceOver or OS X. Do you have any suggestions of how we could announce this information?
