See my comment from over a year ago: <
https://bugs.python.org/issue15873#msg273609>.  The proposed patch did not
have a C implementation, but we can use the same approach as with strptime
and call Python code from C.  If users will start complaining about
performance, we can speed it up in later releases.  Also the new method
needs to be documented.  Overall, it does not seem to require more than an
hour of work from a motivated developer, but the people who contributed to
the issue in the past seem to have lost their interest.
