We can leave the additional constructor in SWIG---it just takes to write

%extend Date {
     Date(const std::string& s, const std::string& fmt) {
         return new Date(DateParser::parse(s,fmt));
     }
}

I slipped into math talk--or maybe some other field? I meant "not defined 
upon the whole domain", since there are pairs of Periods for which it is 
ambiguous.
