[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #9964] datevec.m: add some fairly often seen date/time formats

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #2, patch #9964 (project octave):

Fwiw, in Matlab R2023a:

>> datevec ("1998-07")

ans =

        1998           7           1           0           0           0

>> datevec ("1998")
Error using datevec
Cannot parse date 1998.
 
>> datevec ("1998-07-19T15:03:47Z")
Error using datevec
Failed to lookup month of year.
 
>> datevec ("1998-07-19T15:03:47.219Z")
Error using datevec
Failed to lookup month of year.
 


And Octave 8.2.0:

>> datevec ("1998-07")
error: datevec: none of the standard formats match the DATE string
error: called from
    datevec at line 139 column 11
>> datevec ("1998")
error: datevec: none of the standard formats match the DATE string
error: called from
    datevec at line 139 column 11
>> datevec ("1998-07-19T15:03:47Z")
error: datevec: none of the standard formats match the DATE string
error: called from
    datevec at line 139 column 11
>> datevec ("1998-07-19T15:03:47.219Z")
error: datevec: none of the standard formats match the DATE string
error: called from
    datevec at line 139 column 11


So, at least the first format `"yyyy-mm"` should be supported for
compatibility.
