fecha.parse method is allowing an invalid and a malformed dates

I’d expected to get a false return or an exception when I called the fecha.parse method with an invalid and a malformed dates. But it parsed them successfully. Is this the desired result?

Invalid: Date parts are not in the valid ranges (12 >= Month >= 1, 31>= Day>= 1, 23>=Hour>= 0 …)

fecha.parse('2016-44-99', 'YYYY-MM-DD'); // Sat Nov 12 2016 21:39:00 GMT+0300
fecha.parse('2016-11-11 44:44', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm'); // Sat Nov 12 2016 20:44:00 GMT+0300

Malformed: Supplied date string does not match the format

fecha.parse('2016-1-1', 'YYYY-MM-DD'); // Fri Jan 01 2016 01:00:00 GMT+0400
fecha.parse('2016-11-11 3:4', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm'); // Fri Nov 11 2016 03:04:00 GMT+0300

Invalid & Malformed:

fecha.parse('2016-9876-123', 'YYYY-MM-DD'); // Tue Apr 16 2024 00:00:00 GMT+0300
fecha.parse('2016-11-11 4433:3344', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm'); // Sat Nov 12 2016 20:33:00 GMT+0300

Tested on: Google Chrome Version 54.0.2840.71 m (Windows 10)

Thanks,

Maybe the strict version could parse the date and format it again and then check if both strings are the same?

I am going to close this issue. If someone would like to submit a PR to add a strict version (which doesn’t add a lot of code), I would be happy to add it
