My tests are showing that the additional "Date acceptance patterns" are not
working as expected (a.k.a BUG).

The "Date acceptance patterns" is supposed to help the user introduce dates
using alternative date formats (other than its default in Calc Language
settings).

I can insert the date in my default format and then change the format of the
cell as I want; but then there is no point for the "Date acceptance patterns".
The whole point of "Date acceptance patterns" is for the user to be able to
insert _other_ date formats and Calc should identify (format) it as date
"automatically". Hopefully I am being more clear now.

Perhaps this incorrect behavior is more relevant for bug #71664, as it is not a
problem exclusive to DATEDIF.

Regards,
Ady.
