bug(Datepicker): datepicker doesn't close if you click on previous selected date

[julianobrasil]

Bug, feature request, or proposal:

Bug/Request (I think I've seen a similar issue around, but I couldn't find it)

What is the expected behavior?

The datepicker should close if you click on a previous selected date

What is the current behavior?

The datepicker doesn't close if you click on a previous selected date

What are the steps to reproduce?

1 - Open the calendar, select a date
2 - Reopen the calendar and try to select the same date

Plunker: http://plnkr.co/edit/shFewF?p=preview

What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

It's not unusual that a user opens the calendar, takes a quick look at it and realizes that the date he wants to select is already selected. In this situation, the calendar panel should close if he clicks again on the already selected date.
