[Proposal] DateTime.from_iso8601!/2

[Anthony Smith]

Parses the extended “DateTimes” format described by ISO 8601:2004.

Raises if the format is invalid.

This function would be similar to Date.from_iso8601!/2.

ISO does not specify the timezone, so we cannot parse it into a DateTime. You can use NaiveDateTime or, if you want to assume a timezone, parse a NaiveDateTime and then convert it to DateTime.

DateTime already has from_iso8601/2. I thought it might make sense to have a version that returns a DateTime instead of a tuple. Similar to Date.from_iso8601!/2.

I'm not sure what parsing has to do with it considering there's already a function that parses ISO 8601 into DateTime. I apologize if I'm missing something obvious.

Oh, apologies. I misunderstood the proposal. You want to add a bang variant. Definitely. Please send a PR.
