Parse times in parenthesis, quotes, and other boundary-like characters

See original GitHub issue

I noticed Chrono doesn’t recognize times if they are surrounded by parenthesis.

Want to meet for dinner (5pm EST)? --> Does not parse Want to meet for dinner, 5pm EST? --> 5:00 PM

I believe this is because Chrono considers parenthesis like normal characters (the same as if we were to do “X5pmX”), and not like boundary characters.

Similarly with quotes:

He said “5pm” --> Does not parse He said 5pm --> 5:00 PM

Similar behavior for most boundary-like characters: ( ) [ ] { } < > " '

I replied the comment. Thanks for checking.

I noticed this is not published to npm yet but maybe that is on purpose.

Yes. I still feel it’s not well tested enough and I also would like to fix other issues as well if I have time this weekend.
