[Proposal] parse timestamps

Feels like an easy thing to add:

parse a timestamp like 1637093119.558717 or 1637093119

which would convert to November 16, 2021 8:05:19 PM

Currently what thinks it’s a “phone number” or “American social security number” 🤷

Cheers 😎

I don’t think parsing == checking, but I agree. However! I am not sure if this should be done at print time or API time, because I think this could genuinely be useful for people using the API 🤔

I think that API should return the same output as CLI, so at API time. I imagine checkers being like a filtration function: it gets a match object and can modify it. If the function returns None, then match will not appear in the output.

@whyboris I will update my issue with better naming and examples and will close this one since this is a duplicate.

My issue is about adding non-regex checkers and you provided a great situation where it could be useful. Pinging urls is just an example.
