Parse the given string and fill parsed values into date object.
The existing values of any temporal fields of date not parsed from text
are not directly changed, but may be affected by overflow. E.g. if a minutes
value of 70 is parsed, the implementation of date may increment the value
of its hours field by 1 while setting its minutes value to 10.
