#Forget 2-digit year specifications ("yyyy"). Otherwise yyMMdd will 

#consider "20040203" to be invalid (a valid "200402" with a couple of

#extra characters). (FlexibleDateParser skips patterns that don't

#parse *all* the characters). Anyway, FlexibleDateParser also tries

#the (deprecated) Date constructor, and that should parse the most

#common 2-digit-year formats. [Jon Aquino]

#Lines beginning with "#" and blank lines are ignored. [Jon Aquino]

#Earlier patterns have precedence over later patterns. [Jon Aquino]
