Hi Marius and Tim (and anyone who has an opinion on this). Sorry for not
responding earlier.
To clarify, there's no question that parseXXX will continue to return a box.
The call to the DateFormat's parse method is wrapped in tryo in the default
implementation.
The real question is if formatXXX
+1 on the Box... that is the lift idiom.
Cheers, Tim

We should not assume dumb default values for input that doesn't make
sense.
