Allow Date type fields to be populated with date string (beside number or Date instance)

[royaltm]

It would be very nice if camo validator would accept field with declared type Data values as strings. Currently we may use numbers or date instances but no date strings.

I think simple Date.parse would suffice to interpret strings.

Why:

I'm using camo (with my neat hack) in a browser (via my own REST client for camo) and after serializing/deserializing JSON objects, all Date fields become ISO date strings on the backend.

The workaround is to: Date.prototype.toJSON = Date.prototype.getTime in the browser.

but I would like to leave Date.prototype.toJSON untouched and allow the camo validators to convert those date strings to Date objects.

Adding this to the todo list.
