## Convert a serial date number (@pxref{XREFdatenum,,@code{datenum}}) or date
## string (@pxref{XREFdatestr,,@code{datestr}}) into a date vector.
##
## A date vector is a row vector with six members, representing the year,
## month, day, hour, minute, and seconds respectively.
##
## Date number inputs can be either a scalar or nonscalar array.  Date string
## inputs can be either a single date string, a two-dimensional character
## array of dates with each row being a date string, or a cell string array of
## any dimension with each cell element containing a single date string.
##
## @var{v} is a two-dimensional array of date vectors, one date vector per
## row.  For array inputs, ordering of @var{v} is based on column major order
## of dates in @var{data}.
##
## @var{f} is the format string used to interpret date strings
## (@pxref{XREFdatestr,,@code{datestr}}).  If @var{date} is a string or a cell
## array of strings, but no format is specified, heuristics are used to guess
## the input format.  These heuristics could lead to matches that differ from
## the result a user might expect.  Additionally, this involves a relatively
## slow search through various formats.  It is always preferable to specify
## the format string @var{f} if it is known.  Formats which do not specify a
## particular time component will have the value set to zero.  Formats which
## do not specify a particular date component will default that component to
## January 1st of the current year.  Trailing characters are ignored for the
## purpose of calculating the date vector, even if the characters contain
## additional time/date information.
##
## @var{p} is the year at the start of the century to which two-digit years
## will be referenced.  If not specified, it defaults to the current year
## minus 50.
