Rok Mihevc commented on ARROW-15666:
------------------------------------
I don't expect this would be in date.h scope. If I understand correctly Pandas
and R/lubridate both infer a format on a subset of rows and use that format to
parse the rest. Perhaps we can directly use that logic for now (I believe this
was [~dragosmg]'s idea too) and see if we actually need this in C++?
