Yes, I just noticed that 200 was much too much, made the note
to fix it sometime and forgot the note in the final submission.

Been there, tried that. Didn't like it, because it didn't feel enough
approxidate (the original) anymore. Not even internally, because
of missing parse_date. My other attempts were guessdate and
approxidate_bottom_half (but only very shortly).
The "approximation", if you consider the functions arguments,
seems to me the closest to what the function _is_. OTOH,
maybe I should have used a verb...
