[Trinidad] Making date-converter lenient

As TRINIDAD-859 (see [1]) mentions, currently an input like "January
4, 2004" fails.
To make the converter more lenient, we (internally) will apply some
patterns, when calling
getAsObject().

A little question I have is, should these patterns be applied always?
Or... only if there is no pattern/secondaryPattern set for the converter.

I'd vote for the always applying them.

What are your thoughts?

As long as the leniency doesn't add any ambiguity, leniency is always 
good for the user.
