## NAME
    [DateTime::Format::Builder::Parser::Quick] - Use another formatter, simply

## VERSION
    version 0.83

## SYNOPSIS
        use [DateTime::Format::Builder] (
            parsers => {
                parse_datetime => [
                    { Quick => '[DateTime::Format::HTTP]' },
                    { Quick => '[DateTime::Format::Mail]' },
                    { Quick => '[DateTime::Format::IBeat]' },
                ]
            }
        );

        # is the same as

        use [DateTime::Format::HTTP];
        use [DateTime::Format::Mail];
        use [DateTime::Format::IBeat];

        use [DateTime::Format::Builder] (
            parsers => {
                parse_datetime => [
                    sub {
                        eval { [DateTime::Format::HTTP]->parse_datetime( $_[1] ) }
                    },
                    sub {
                        eval { [DateTime::Format::Mail]->parse_datetime( $_[1] ) }
                    },
                    sub {
                        eval { [DateTime::Format::IBeat]->parse_datetime( $_[1] ) }
                    },
                ]
            }
        );

    (These two pieces of code can both be found in the test suite; one as
    quick.t, the other as fall.t.)

## DESCRIPTION
    "Quick" adds a parser that allows some shortcuts when writing fairly
    standard and mundane calls to other formatting modules.

## SPECIFICATION
    "Quick" has two keys, one optional.

    The "Quick" keyword should have an argument of either an object or a
    class name. If it's a class name then the class is "use"d.

    The "method" keyword is optional with a default of "parse_datetime".
    It's either name of the method to invoke on the object, or a reference
    to a piece of code.

    In any case, the resultant code ends up looking like:

        my $rv = $Quick->$method($date);
