impl Dt {
    /// Automatically parses datetime [`str`] into a [`Dt`] by guessing and generating the format. Supports the vast
    /// majority of date formats.
    ///
    /// - Requires the `"parse"` feature (which enables `alloc`).
    /// - The returned [`Dt`] is internally on the TAI time scale. The `attos` field is an [`i128`] attosecond
    ///   count since TAI 2000-01-01 noon. See [`Scale`](crate::Scale) for more information.
    /// - The returned [`Dt`] is **not** in local time, if a timezone is parsed then it's used to find the offset
    ///   to return non-local instant.
    ///
    /// ## Parameters
    ///
    /// - `s`: The string to parse. Must be non-empty and no longer than 255 bytes. Empty strings or overly
    ///   long inputs return an error.
    /// - `opts`: The [`ParseCfg`] to use. Pass `&ParseCfg::DEFAULT` (or `&ParseCfg::default()`)
    ///   to use the standard smart defaults. You can create a `ParseCfg` once and pass `&cfg`
    ///   on every call for consistent behavior and to avoid repeated construction.
    ///
    /// ## Configuration Options
    ///
    /// These are the fields of the configuration options struct [`ParseCfg`], their types and defaults.
    ///
    /// See [`ParseCfg`] for more information.

    /// ## Ambiguous Numeric Dates
    ///
    /// Dates where the components could map to different orders (e.g. `01/02/03`,
    /// `3-4-5`, `15.03.24`, `2024.03.15`) are resolved via the `order` field:
    ///
    /// - **`Order::Smart`** (default) — Applies the fast heuristic described in [`Order::Smart`].
    ///   It strongly prefers modern/tech conventions (Year-first for compact/ISO-like data)
    ///   while handling the majority of international and US-style dates.
    ///
    /// - **`Order::Year`**, **`Order::Day`**, or **`Order::Month`** force a
    ///   specific interpretation and bypass the heuristic entirely.
    ///
    /// ## Supported Formats
    ///
    /// The parser tokenizes known words (month/day names, relative phrases, timezones, etc.), generates candidate
    /// formats from the token pattern, and tries them until one matches. Thousands of layouts are supported.
    ///
    /// Separators generally don't matter, they could be spaces, slashes, or hyphens, but **not colons** - colons are
    /// reserved for the time connector, times, and offsets.
    ///
    /// Generally speaking the date part must come first, and stuff like time components, offsets and iana timezone names
    /// must come afterwards.
    ///
    /// - **ISO 8601** and variants: `2024-03-15`, `2024-03-15T14:30:00Z`, `2024-03-15T14:30:00+01:00[Europe/Paris]`
    /// - **Named dates** (in supported languages): `15 March 2024`, `15 mars 2024`, `15. März 2024`, `15 de marzo de 2024`
    /// - **Week dates**: `2024-W15`, `2024-W15-3`, `2024W153` (missing weekday defaults to Monday)
    /// - **Syslog-style** (no year): `Mar  5 10:23:45` (year inferred from `ref_time`)
    /// - **Relative expressions**: `tomorrow`, `in 3 days`, `2 weeks ago`
    /// - **12-hour time**: `2:30 PM`, `14:30:45.123`
    /// - **Offsets and timezones**: `+0100`, `-05:30`, `Z`, IANA timezone names (with the `jiff-tz` feature enabled)
    /// - **Library time scales**: `TAI`, `TT`, etc. are detected and parsed, must come after the date part of the input
    ///
    /// Relative dates are also automatically supported, except for bare numbers with no colons like `0900`, as these
    /// are differently interpreted.
    ///
    /// ## Examples
    ///
    /// ```rust
    /// use deep_time::{Dt, ParseCfg, Order, Mode, Scale};
    ///
    /// // Default smart parsing
    /// let dt = Dt::from_str_parse("2024-03-15 14:30:00", &ParseCfg::DEFAULT).unwrap();
    ///
    /// // German named date (requires the `de` feature)
    /// # #[cfg(feature = "de")]
    /// # {
    /// # use deep_time::Lang;
    /// let cfg = ParseCfg { lang: Lang::De, ..Default::default() };
    /// let dt = Dt::from_str_parse("15. März 2024 um 14:30", &cfg).unwrap();
    /// # }
    ///
    /// // Pure numeric compact form
    /// let dt = Dt::from_str_parse("20240315", &ParseCfg::DEFAULT).unwrap(); // March 15, 2024
    ///
    /// // Unix timestamp (milliseconds)
    /// let cfg = ParseCfg { mode: Mode::UnixTimestamp, ..Default::default() };
    /// let dt = Dt::from_str_parse("1735689600123", &cfg).unwrap();
    ///
    /// // Explicit formats only (no fallback)
    /// let cfg = ParseCfg {
    ///     parse: Some(vec!["%d/%m/%Y".into(), "%Y-%m-%d".into()]),
    ///     mode: Mode::Explicit,
    ///     ..Default::default()
    /// };
    /// let dt = Dt::from_str_parse("15/03/2024", &cfg).unwrap();
    ///
    /// // Relative dates — build config once, borrow repeatedly
    /// let ref_time = Dt::from_ymd(2026, 6, 16, Scale::UTC, 12, 0, 0, 0);
    /// let cfg = ParseCfg {
    ///     ref_time: Some(ref_time),
    ///     ..Default::default()
    /// };
    /// let dt = Dt::from_str_parse("next Monday at 14:00", &cfg).unwrap();
    ///
    /// assert_eq!(dt, Dt::from_ymd(2026, 6, 22, Scale::UTC, 14, 0, 0, 0));
    /// ```
    ///
    /// ## Notes
    ///
    /// - The `Smart` + `Auto` combination gives the best real-world success rate for mixed data.
    /// - Relative expressions and syslog-style no-year dates need a reference time. If `ref_time` is `None`
    ///   and the `std` feature is enabled, system time is used; without `std`, set `ref_time` explicitly or
    ///   parsing will fail.
    /// - All successfully parsed [`Dt`] values are stored with attosecond precision on the internal
    ///   TAI timescale.
    /// - Timezone handling (IANA names and fixed offsets) is fully supported when the `jiff-tz` feature
    ///   is enabled.
    ///
    /// ## Supported Languages:
    ///
    /// Language support here basically means supporting abbreviated and full day and month names.
    /// Non-Ascii types of numeric characters are also supported such as full width digits.
    ///
    /// Some day/month names in non-English languages are not supported due to clashes, any such missing
    /// support is noted below.
    ///
    /// - En
    /// - De
    ///     - Won't parse "t" as short form for day.
    /// - Es
    ///     - English word "ago" won't be detected as relative date word.
    ///     - Won't parse "mar" as tuesday, will instead parse as march.
    /// - Fr
    ///     - Won't parse "mar" as tuesday, will instead parse as march.
