//! Class with generic date parsing using a format string
/*! The following is the set of recognized format specifiers
 -  %a - Short weekday name
 -  %A - Long weekday name
 -  %b - Abbreviated month name
 -  %B - Full month name
 -  %d - Day of the month as decimal 01 to 31
 -  %j - Day of year as decimal from 001 to 366
 -  %m - Month name as a decimal 01 to 12
 -  %U - Week number 00 to 53 with first Sunday as the first day of week 1?
 -  %w - Weekday as decimal number 0 to 6 where Sunday == 0
 -  %W - Week number 00 to 53 where Monday is first day of week 1
 -  %x - facet default date representation
 -  %y - Year without the century - eg: 04 for 2004
 -  %Y - Year with century 

 The weekday specifiers (%a and %A) do not add to the date construction,
 but they provide a way to skip over the weekday names for formats that
 provide them.

 todo -- Another interesting feature that this approach could provide is
         an option to fill in any missing fields with the current values
         from the clock.  So if you have %m-%d the parser would detect
         the missing year value and fill it in using the clock. 

 todo -- What to do with the %x.  %x in the classic facet is just bad...
