Personally, I quite enjoy the current behaviour. :)
While I agree that the automatic correction of invalid dates is a
feature and not a bug, I also feel that the ability to set the whole
date at once without having to parse a locale-dependent string would
be useful. The need to set the components in a certain order - and
some of them twice - in order to obtain an arbitrary date is, at
best,
inelegant.

That all would be avoided is <<class isot>> would be allowed both
ways without hack.
ISO Time: Year-Month-Day-T-Hours(0-24)-Minutes-Seconds
Isn't it great?
As far as I know currently AS allows for AS Date --> ISO Time but
not the other way around.
Even if ISO Time is available, we will continue, for years, to
receive dates in different local formats.
I described three of them but I assume that Arabic countries have
their own ones, that Eastern countries have their own ones.
It would be really useful to have the ability to decipher these
formats with 'in_the_box' tools.
Refusing to offer this kind of tool is deciding that only one format
need serious treatment and that others are 2nd class ones, what I
name: segre… !
