Date.parse() works in general, but it has bizarre restrictions
which are not documented. For example, the following strings
work:

  9/7/97
  9/7/70
  9/7/1984

But the following strings don't:

            expected parse result
  9/7/69 9/7/1969 fail
  9/7/02 9/7/2002 fail
  9/7/400 9/7/400 9/7/2300
