parse the strings such as {\tt "tomorrow"}, {\tt "March first"} and even
{\tt "next Sunday"}.
+Finally notice that each of the parsing functions is available in several
+overloads: if the input string is a narrow (\texttt{char *}) string, then a
+narrow pointer is returned. If the input string is a wide string, a wide char
+pointer is returned. Finally, if the input parameter is a wxString, a narrow
+char pointer is also returned for backwards compatibility but there is also an
+additional argument of wxString::const\_iterator type in which, if it is not
+\NULL, an iterator pointing to the end of the scanned string part is returned.

+Parses the string \arg{date} looking for a date formatted according to the RFC
822 in it. The exact description of this format may, of course, be found in
the RFC (section $5$), but, briefly, this is the format used in the headers of
Internet email messages and one of the most common strings expressing date in
