[issue23884] New DateType for argparse (like FileType but for dates)

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

Yes, I think this is a case where it is better for the application to define exactly what it needs rather than try to define a general solution that won't satisfy everyone :)

FileType's purpose is actually, I think, to give you an *open* file.  Which is also where a number of the problems came from :)
