fmtdate
provides a date formatter and parser using the syntax of Microsoft Excel (TM).
Additionally it offers default conversions for date time and datetime.
Microsoft Excel (TM) has a well known syntax for date formatting, that more memorable than the syntax chosen in the time package in the go library.

fmt.Println(date)
var err
date, err = fmtdate.Parse("M/D/YY", "2/3/07")
fmt.Println(date, err)
