Hi!
As I previously noted, in DateTime module there's no way to make
DateTime format parser to parse the string if the string contains more
data that the format supplies - i.e. if you need 'Y-m-d' and you have
string '2010-11-02 12:30' - you can't make DateTime accept it without
pre-parsing. The attached patch adds format character '+' that
implements that - i.e., if you use format 'Y-m-d+' then the string
'2010-11-02 12:30' will be parsed successfully, as well as '2010-11-02'
and string with anything following the date.
The character would make the format 'lenient' when used in any position
in the string, doesn't have to be at the end.
Any objections? If not, I'll add some unit tests and commit it.
