[Dateutil] Retrieving format string from parsed string

[Paul G]

Unfortunately it is not at this time:

https://github.com/dateutil/dateutil/issues/125

This improvement is part of a more general improvement to the parser that I'd like to work on soon. It's a bit trickier than just outputting something that can be parsed by strptime, because dateutil's parser can infer dates in formats that are not compatible with strptime (mostly to do with time zones).
