timestamp_parse

 SYNOPSIS
  Parse a timestamps to Unix time

 USAGE
  Long_Type timestamp_parse (String_Type timestamp)

 DESCRIPTION
  The `timestamp_parse' function parses the string representation
  of a timestamp and returns it expessed as the number of seconds
  since the Unix Epoch.

  The `timestamp' string is assumed to conform to one of the
  following standards: RFCs 822, 1036, 1123, 2822, 3339, and ISO-8601.
  Examples include:

   "2020-05-02T17:09:58+00:00"
   "Sunday, 02-May-20 17:09:58 UTC"
   "Sun, 2 May 2020 17:09:58 +0000"
   "5/2/2020, 5:31:57 PM EDT"
   "2020-02-14T170958+0000"
   "5/02/2020, 5:31:57 PM",

  If a timezone specifier is missing,  the local timezone will be
  assumed.

  Upon success, the functions returns the number of seconds since
  1970-01-01T00:00:00 UTC.  If the format of the timestamp is not
  recognized as the function, NULL will be returned.
