Can't detect year when spelled out

[brenthale]

Here is the String I entered into the 'Try it out' page:

"eleventh Day of May one thousand eight hundred"

This does parse it and finds Thu May 11 19:07:01 UTC 2017. But notice that the year is wrong. I would expect it to be 1800.

Another example:

"eighteenth day of January in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seventeen"

parses to be Wed Jan 18 19:08:39 UTC 2017. Again, notice the wrong year.

Given this statement on your docs page:

"with the reasoning that people don't typically reference dates that are centuries away from the present."

I have an application that will look for dates from the 1400's to 1900's. Is there a way to cause the parse to defer to years rather than 'time of day' interpretations. I won't have any time of day information in my text.

Additionally, this library should probably be refactored to return java.time.LocalDateTime instead of Date.

This looks promising.
Thanks for providing it.
