time: ParseTime layouts with underscores _

[FlorianUekermann]

I suspect this has been mentioned before, but my searches came up empty.

This fmt.Println(time.Parse("2006-_1-_2", "2017-7-17")) fails with this 0001-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 UTC parsing time "2017-7-17" as "2006-_1-_2": cannot parse "7-17" as "-_" output.

I naively expected _-parsing to be less greedy. I'm not sure if this is supposed to work, but maybe it is worth fixing anyway.

"Within the format string, an underscore _ represents a space that may be replaced by a digit if the following number (a day) has two digits; for compatibility with fixed-width Unix time formats."

I read that as "working as intended."

I misunderstood the meaning of the word space here. Sorry about that. That was a bit stupid, the docs are actually quite clear. Just removing the underscores has the desired effect.
