To support arbitrary date layout parsing, one approach would be to define a custom "parsetime" function, which would take a date/time layout as a parameter, with the same format as time.Parse():
With the above function, it would be possible to evaluate the following expression:
where "ts" is a parameter. However, since govaluate always attempts to parse strings as dates, the layout ends up being parsed as a date.
I think it would be useful to provide a method to disable automatic date parsing, this may actually provide a small performance improvement as a side effect. I can work on a PR if that makes sense.
