Define if the parser is strict or lenient in interpreting inputs that do not match the pattern exactly.
Enabling lenient parsing allows the parser to accept otherwise flawed date or
time patterns, parsing as much as possible to obtain a value.
Extra space, unrecognized tokens, or invalid values ("February 30th") are not accepted.
