Oracle also has 'date' and 'timestamp' datatypes.  A 'date' really is
a datetime, and 'timestamp' adds the ability for timezone information,
which is missing from 'date' for some reason.

I would welcome the removal of "timestamp isa datetime" in
InflateColumn::DateTime.

I can update DateTime::Format::Oracle to have whatever parse_
functions it should have.  I checked a few others to see what they
had, but didn't find any kind of formal spec on how to write them.
