Dragoș Moldovan-Grünfeld commented on ARROW-15659:
--------------------------------------------------
This would also allow us to use {{coalesce()}} downstream to cycle through
several formats, for example, when defining {{{}parse_date_time(){}}}.
> [R] strptime should return NA (not error) with format mismatch

> {{base::strptime()}} returns {{NA}} when the value passed to the {{format}}
> argument does not match the string to be parsed. The arrow binding currently
> errors in the same scenario.
