Mani, Thanks for looking into this! I think going the route of adding a toTimestamp is better than modifying the toDate() function. If we modified toDate, we would have to ensure that things are backward-compatible. And I believe the format strings used by DateFormat and DateTimeFormatter are different, so there would have to be a third, optional parameter added to the function, which may be less friendly to use.
I think we’ll also need to be very clear in the documentation what the difference is between the two functions.
