Not well indexed? That's putting it mildly.
Here's an example of use (MUCH needed in Help):
Export["test.tsv",
{{"2005-01-24", "2005-02-14"},
{"2005-01-24", "2005-02-14"}}]
Import["test.tsv",
ConversionOptions -> {"Numeric" ->
False, "DateStyle" -> "American", "DateSeparator" -> "-"}]
No matter what options are used, however...
Why is the second record converted differently than the first?
