Date/time parser for Ruby with the following features: * Extensible with custom formats and tokens. * Fast, up to 60% faster than Time/Date parse method. * Control the parser strictness. * Control behaviour of ambiguous date formats (US vs European e.g. mm/dd/yy, dd/mm/yy). * I18n support (for months), if I18n gem loaded. * Works with Ruby MRI >= 2.2

Extracted from the validates_timeliness gem, it has been rewritten cleaner and much faster. It's most suitable for when one need to control the parsing behaviour.
