Let's think about error handling. The input is a VarChar which can be
anything: a blank string, the name of a movie star, a phone number. The user
claims it is a date. Even if it is, it might be badly formed or in the wrong
format.
What error handling do we do? `doEval` declares no exceptions. According to
the Joda Javadoc, `parse()` will throw an (unchecked)
`IllegalArgumentException` if the input is bad. This will bubble up the
execution stack and cause the fragment executor to fail. There will be no
context ("row xyz of input abc"), and precious little information about the SQL
statement and field that caused the problem.
Should we catch the exception and fill in as much context as we have
available?
