Does the convert command take account of the user's syatem settings when
parsing its input?

In other words, if I'm in the UK and pass the string "06/07/14" to the
following convert command

convert "06/07/14" from system date to  dateitems

... will I end up with month=07 and day=06 rather than the other way round?

Does it also handle the separator character between date elements according
to the user's system settings?  For example, if it use "-" as the date
separator, would it recognize "07-06-14" as a valid date?
