parse	`open fun parse(text: String, locale: Locale): Date`
print	`open fun print(date: Date, locale: Locale): String`
setIso	`open fun setIso(iso: ISO): Unit` Set the ISO format used for this date.
setLenient	`open fun setLenient(lenient: Boolean): Unit` Specify whether or not parsing is to be lenient. Default is false. With lenient parsing, the parser may allow inputs that do not precisely match the format. With strict parsing, inputs must match the format exactly.

setStyle	`open fun setStyle(style: Int): Unit` Set the style to use to format date values. If not specified, DateFormat's default style will be used.
setStylePattern	`open fun setStylePattern(stylePattern: String): Unit` Set the two character to use to format date values. The first character used for the date style, the second is for the time style. Supported characters are 'S' = Small 'M' = Medium 'L' = Long 'F' = Full '-' = Omitted This method mimics the styles supported by Joda-Time.
setTimeZone	`open fun setTimeZone(timeZone: TimeZone): Unit` Set the TimeZone to normalize the date values into, if any.
