Do we really need yet another configuration option? I didn't knew
about this date format's leniency, and IMO the date convertor
shouldn't be lenient since "12-32-2005" is obviously an invalid
input. So what about simply always set lenient to false?
The problem is that the default leniency for DateFormat is true, so
setting it to false would break backward compatibility (even if it's
admittedly improbable that someone would have relied on this behavior).
Hmm... forbidding "12-32-2005" seems more like a bug fix to me than a
backwards incompatible change !
With my fix, we have one more option, but omitting it gives exactly
the same behavior as before.
All in all, I don't have a strong opinion on this, so we might do a
quick informal vote and let people decide.
+1 for always setting lenient to false!
