Comment:

 We really should use `GetLocaleDateFormat()` as the first guess and only
 try something else if it doesn't work. Of course, we'd still have the
 problem with misparsing dates if they do 'not' use the user format then
 but it would probably be less severe.

 In any case, the only real solution is to use `ParseFormat()` (which does
 understand the user date format) and this is what should be done if
 possible.
