Subject: [PATCH] Fix `dateFormat` documentation
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Please countercheck my changes – I _think_ `dateFormat` cannot return its `INPUT` "as a Go `time.Time` type value" as the documentation originally suggested. This is what `time` does.
