No, there isn't as far as I know. Checking isNumber is rather easy because you 
can decide it by looking at a single character. A format like date you have to 
parse.

You can try to parse the date

| date |
[ date := DateAndTime fromString: aMightBeADate ]
   on: Error
   do: [ :err | ].

After that your date test is isNil. Either you get the parsed date or it is nil 
if it couldn't parse a date.
