Should we just add XX:XX as an alternative time zone offset format
accepted by %z and %Z? Is this a standard format?
Hmm, ok, parsedate allows garbage at the end. I wonder what is the
right thing to do here.
A wildcard that allowed me to say "don't care" would work. If parseDate was built on regular expressions, then you could do whatever you wanted. I'm not familiar with the C roots of this function, though, so maybe it's best to do whatever it does.
Regardless, I'm glad to have something. I can always filter/chop the string to remove the bits I don't care about. It's a good library.
