Please see comments in the JIRA entry. IMHO, the approach taken can be
improved. We should not attempt to change the format used by the existing
to_date function. Instead, we should 1) define the new dialect (is there really
an ANSI standard?) and 2) create a new function: sql_to_date that uses the new
format.
