However, r.parsedate() is really just re-formatting strings and keeping the type as text. So it may be better to print-and-pass on exception so the user can see a complete list of invalid values -- while also allowing for the parser to reformat the remaining valid values. \r\n```\r\nsqlite-utils convert idfpr.db license \"Expiration Date\" \"r.parsedate(value)\"\r\n  [#######-----------------------------]   21%  00:01:57Traceback (most recent call last):\r\n  File \"/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/sqlite_utils/db.py\", line 2336, in convert_value\r\n    return fn(v)\r\n  File \"<string>\", line 2, in fn\r\n  File \"/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/sqlite_utils/recipes.py\", line 8, in parsedate\r\n    parser.parse(value, dayfirst=dayfirst, yearfirst=yearfirst).date().isoformat()\r\n  File \"/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/dateutil/parser/_parser.py\", line 1374, in parse\r\n    return DEFAULTPARSER.parse(timestr, **kwargs)\r\n  File \"/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/dateutil/parser/_parser.py\", line 652, in parse\r\n    raise ParserError(\"String does not contain a date: %s\", timestr)\r\ndateutil.parser._parser.ParserError: String does not contain a date:   /  /    \r\n```\r\nIn this case, I had just one variation of an invalid date: '  /  /  '.
