DBI has an option RaiseError. We could:
. have a variable $DateTime::AutoRaise (which should be overridden using
local)
. have a class factory (in DT::Format) that does the correct
thing given input from parsers, i.e.:
. returns a DateTime object if everything is correct.
. returns a DateTime::Partial object if some data is missing.
. returns a DateTime::Undef or throws an exception if there's
incorrect data, depending on the setting of $DateTime::AutoRaise.
Parsers should only parse; all of the above is common code that should
not be re-implemented in all parsers.
