      # Returns a +Date+ object for the date represented by +term+. Returns
      # +nil+ if +term+ can not be parsed.
      #
      # If the year has two digits, it will be implicitly expanded into a
      # four-digit year by +Date.parse+. Otherwise it will be used as is.
      #
      # If the year is omitted, it will be inferred using +relative_to+ as a
      # reference date. In this scenario, the resulting date will always be
      # less than or equal to the reference date. If +relative_to+ omitted, it
      # defaults to today's date.
