The word "fuzzily" is a bit silly and this rule is not like
approximate string matching nor fuzzy logic.

How about:

	When parsing, all formats of the following argument are tried
	from most to least specific. For example, ?M will match January,
	Jan, 01, and 1, in that order. When formatting, this is ignored.
