I've been looking for a function or library to parse a date in a 
custom format (for validation) similar to C#'s [1] 
TryParseExactbut I couldn't find any. so far I only found 
fromISOExtString(), and fromSimpleString() which doesn't allow me 
to set a custom string format. I've looked up at

https://code.dlang.org/search?q=date
https://code.dlang.org/search?q=date+parsing

but to my surpise I didn't find either. Am I using wrong keywords 
or there's no really such method implemented yet?
