though it is ambiguous without context. As long as the format string
@var{fmt} matches the input string the function will succeed.
+The user has to make sure, though, that the input can be parsed in a
+unambiguous way. The string @code{"1999112"} can be parsed using the
+format @code{"%Y%m%d"} as 1999-1-12, 1999-11-2, or even 19991-1-2. It
+is necessary to add appropriate separators to reliably get results.

The format string consists of the same components as the format string
of the @code{strftime} function. The only difference is that the flags
@code{_}, @code{-}, @code{0}, and @code{^} are not allowed.
