[O] [PATCH 2/2] org-parse-time-string: Describe time stamp matching behavior |

* lisp/org-macs.el (org-parse-time-string): Document matching of
YYYY-MM-DD substring.
org-clock-special-range used to pass in <-50001-11-30 Tue 00:00> with
the expectation that the year would be parsed as -50001, not 0001.
Mention this YYYY-MM-DD format assumption in the docstring to help
avoid such cases.

If time is not given, defaults to 0:00. However, with optional
NODEFAULT, hour and minute fields are nil if not given.

+Throw an error if S does not contain a valid Org time string.
+Note that the first match for YYYY-MM-DD will be used (e.g.,
+\"-52000-02-03\" will be taken as \"2000-02-03\").
This should be a lot faster than the `parse-time-string'."
