:mrdocs:

Parse the specified initial `length` characters of the specified ISO 8601 `string` as a `DateTz` value, and load the value into the specified `result`, using the optionally specified `configuration`. Return 0 on success, and a non‐zero value (with no effect) otherwise. `string` is assumed to be of the form: ` Default: YYYY‐MM‐DD{(+|‐)hh{:}mm|Z} Basic: YYYYMMDD{(+|‐)hh{:}mm|Z} ` _Exactly_ `length` characters are parsed; parsing will fail if a proper prefix of `string` matches the expected format, but the entire `length` characters do not. If the optional zone designator is not present in `string`, UTC is assumed. The behavior is undefined unless `0 <= length`.
