// number of possible date formats to get the value. It will try to
// match against the following international formats, in this order:
// y-M-d   MMM d, y   MMM d,y   y-MMM-d   d-MMM-y  MMM d
// M/d/y   M-d-y      M.d.y     MMM-d     M/d      M-d
// d/M/y   d-M-y      d.M.y     d-MMM     d/M      d-M
// A second argument may be passed to instruct the method to search
// for formats like d/M/y (european format) before M/d/y (American).
// Returns a Date object or null if no patterns match.
