Dragoș Moldovan-Grünfeld commented on ARROW-14471:
--------------------------------------------------
{{lubridate}} has {{guess_formats()}} to identify the likely candidates. We
could try something similar, where we have a list of supported formats
(something similar to
[this|https://github.com/dragosmg/arrow/blob/cfba9e1dfbedd5dfdf652c805e93692808dd092e/r/R/dplyr-funcs-datetime.R#L152-L196]),
which we then narrow down to the most likely ones. Only then use something
like {{{}coalesce(){}}}.
