There is a minor difference in the error message if an invalid date contains a comment: GNU date shows the comment whereas we don't:
$ date -d "(foo)2026-01-05)"
date: invalid date ‘(foo)2026-01-05)’
$ cargo run -q date -d "(foo)2026-01-05)"
date: invalid date '2026-01-05)'
I'm not sure whether we want to address this issue.

Oh, I just noticed a bug ;-)
$ cargo run -q date -d "((foo)2026-01-05)"
date: invalid date '2026-01-05)'
$ date -d "((foo)2026-01-05)"
