Returns <code>Ok</code> when the entire string has been parsed (otherwise <code>parsed</code> should not be used).
There should be no trailing string after parsing;
use a stray <a href="./enum.Item.html#variant.Space"><code>Item::Space</code></a> to trim whitespaces.</p>

<p>This particular date and time parser is:</p>

<ul>
<li><p>Greedy. It will consume the longest possible prefix.
For example, <code>April</code> is always consumed entirely when the long month name is requested;
it equally accepts <code>Apr</code>, but prefers the longer prefix in this case.</p></li>
<li><p>Padding-agnostic (for numeric items).
The <a href="./enum.Pad.html"><code>Pad</code></a> field is completely ignored,
so one can prepend any number of whitespace then any number of zeroes before numbers.</p></li>
<li><p>(Still) obeying the intrinsic parsing width. This allows, for example, parsing <code>HHMMSS</code>.</p></li>

                <p>
                    Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g.
                    <code>fn:</code>) to restrict the search to a given type.
                </p>

                <p>
                    Accepted types are: <code>fn</code>, <code>mod</code>,
                    <code>struct</code>, <code>enum</code>,
                    <code>trait</code>, <code>type</code>, <code>macro</code>,
                    and <code>const</code>.
                </p>

                <p>
                    Search functions by type signature (e.g.
                    <code>vec -> usize</code> or <code>* -> vec</code>)
