Crate whichtime_sys 

Lower-level parsing engine for the whichtime project.

whichtime-sys exposes the lower-level Rust parser engine that powers the higher-level [whichtime] crate and the project’s FFI bindings. The main entry point is WhichTime, which coordinates a locale-specific parser pipeline:

1. Pre-scan the input for date-related tokens.
2. Run matching parsers for the active locale.
3. Post-process matches with refiners.
4. Return ParsedResult values or the first parsed date.

Supported locales: en, de, es, fr, it, ja, nl, pt, ru, sv, uk, and zh.
