Description Geert Janssens 2017-02-20 21:32:26 UTC 
The csv importer has a date parser that attempts to convert strings into dates using a regex that only cares about order of the date components (day, month, year), but not the separator character.

This code is probably useful for the other importers as well, so it should be made generally available in the engine code (or more precisely, qof code).
