Custom yearquarter() character parser

[mitchelloharawild]

As anytime cannot parse "2004 Q2" or "Q2 2004", can we add a simple parser for these formats? If the input format does not match this, it could fall back to anytime.

Here is a regular expression that can be used: \d{4} *Q\d|Q\d *\d{4}

Can you do a PR then?

also it doesn’t need 4 digits, can be 2 digits for year.

What's your year threshold for parsing 2 digit years?

[earowang]

Right. Please abort if the number of digits < 4
