That's true. I just wanted to share my view of the "date guessing" part
of pgpro's commits.
I don't have a good solution for it either, I can only tell that where I
work we do have same issues: either we guess by looking at the string
value or we know that "this particular key" must be a date.
Unsatisfied with either solution, we tend to use YAML for our APIs if
possible.
