Parsing #7

Hi, have you considered adding parsing to this library? I see following benefits:

  1. You could do something like this:

    check all date <- date(), format <- format() do
 assert date == parse!(format(date, format), format)
end

  2. There's a proposal to split up Timex: https://github.com/bitwalker/timex/issues/448 so maybe parsing & formatting piece could be replaced wholesale by this library

I was thinking about parsing as well, but it's significantly more involved than formatting 😅
