   Initially I started by trying to apply an identical logic to 
`as.Date.character()`: find the first non-null element and attempt to parse it 
with the first format, then move on to the next format, etc. Computationally it 
should be relatively efficient since we would try the formats on a single 
element, but I couldn't figure out how to do this with expressions (find the 
first non-null, apply the format, force the computation, if NA, try the next 
one, etc).
