-------------------------+---------------------
 We currently only accept dates in ISO 8601 format and print out a warning
 if the user puts in a date in a different format.  We could make this part
 more user-friendly by guessing the date format of a non-ISO 8601 date and
 including a link to results using that guessed date.

 Example:

 "Sorry, "3/24/15" is not a valid date. The expected date format is "YYYY-
 MM-DD". Example: "2015-07-02". Did you mean: 2014-03-24"

 Fortunately, Wikipedia has a list of
 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country common date formats
 used in the world].
