TO DO - Uize.Date.Formatter

This is a TO DO document for the Uize.Date.Formatter module.

1. Uize.Date.Formatter.getDateComponents

returns an object containing the values for all the date components

2. Uize.Date.Formatter.format

add support for time zone
add support for milliseconds

2.1. - allow format to be a function that accepts an object containing the values for all the date components

this would allow a format to be a compiled template, which would allow certain of the component values to go through encodings as well

3. Uize.Date.Formatter.parse

add support for time zone
add support for milliseconds
consider supporting {date} token (might need complex regular expression)

3.1. - possible encoding options / switches

case sensitive
allow padding around token values

3.1.1. - allow padding around token separators

eg. a date formatted with 'YYYY/MM/DD' could currently no be parsed with 'YYYY / MM / DD' because all whitespace segments are turned into \s+ matches. Perhaps this is just a switch on the whitespace segment matcher... \s* vs \s+

3.2. - possible loose rules around certain separator characters

eg. a date formatted with 'YYYY-MM-DD' could not currently be parsed with 'YYYY/MM/DD'

3.3. - consider making dates not validate when values for equivalent / overlapping date components don't agree

eg. if the day name is not correct for the date, or if the month name is not correct for the month, or if the am/pm is not correct for the hour of the day (if it is specified using 24hr / military time)
