date-format-lite's Issues

Nice, but won't work with TypeScript

TypeScript see this as an error ...

            var now: Date = new Date();
            var d = now.format("iso");   

Error Build: Property 'format' does not exist on type 'Date'.

`Z` placeholder should output with minutes (:mm) always

Currently, if a time zone is round hours difference, the minutes (:00) are omitted from the output (for e.g: 2015-12-16T22:06:16+07).

That may be a valid ISO 8601 format. However, it's not compatible with native JavaScript Date parsing. (new Date('2015-12-16T22:06:16+07') will return an invalid Date object, I tried this in latest Chrome and Safari Preview).

I think that for compatibility sake and it doesn't harm for Z placeholder should always return a full +hh:mm string, OR, provide another placeholder character that always output the full +hh:mm.

Refer to https://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime, they always use +hh:mm for time zone designator.

format('YYYYMMDDHHMMss') results in 2015Mon090355

It appears that this particular format string does not work unless I'm missing something.

(new Date("2015-03-16T13:45:55")).format('YYYYMMDDHHMMss')
//'2015Mon090355'

I would expect it should be 20150316090355.

null value .date() exception

var mydate = ....;
want output mydate.date().format(....);
But if mydate value = null
exception can not convert null to date ................

Is it possible not just to format, but to parse a date with this module?

For example, i need to parse dd/mm/yyyy dates. In readme it is said, that this module can be a parser too.
