Can't parse `2nd sunday in march 2014` #283

Loading development environment (Rails 4.1.7)
[1] pry(main)> Chronic.parse('2nd sunday in march')
2015-03-08 12:30:00 -0400
[2] pry(main)> Chronic.parse('2nd sunday in march 2014')
nil

It seems Chronic should be able to combine 2nd sunday with a specific month and year, but I couldn't figure out the syntax to have it do so.

Thanks.

I don't think Chronic have ever supported this format (with year). But it will work when #278 will be done. With that PR

Chronic.parse('2nd sunday march 2014', :guess => false) # it doesn't work with "in", but that will be fixed
=> 2014-03-09 00:00:00 +0200...2014-03-10 00:00:00 +0200
