There are a lot of open issues both here and in the
coreutils
repo related to invalid parsing of dates. Some of them are already fixed, but not closed, some are still pending, some have open PRs, some are related and report the same thing. And some issues are not discovered yet.So I thought it would be nice to have an easy to navigate list of things that work and do not work, and an easy way to check and update it. So I came up with this.
The tests in this PR basically cover everything (and a little more) covered by https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/Calendar-date-items.html (not entirely true, they cover only what should work, but do not test things that shouldn't work).
Before I go on to other chapters of that manual, I would like to know what the maintainers think about it:
