[ruby-core:84485] [Ruby trunk Bug#14241] Time.strptime() doesn't support the directive "%W".

Issue #14241 has been updated by mad-raz (Ahmed A.Razzak).


To add to the report, the Time.strptime doesn't support any of the following directives
~~~
%w %W %j %u
~~~

basically, it doesn't support anything outputted from the Date._strptim that is not in the following hash keys
(https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/ruby_2_5/lib/time.rb#L448)
~~~
:year , :mon, :mday, :hour, :min, :sec, :sec_fraction, :zone
~~~
and the previous format directives produce various different keys like
~~~
:wnum1, :cwday, :wday, :yday
~~~

examples:
~~~
irb > Date.strptime("2017 1 3", "%Y %W %u").strftime("%F")
=> "2017-01-04"
irb > Time.strptime("2017 1 3", "%Y %W %u").strftime("%F")
=> "2017-01-01"
irb > Date.strptime("2017 20", "%Y %j").strftime("%F")
=> "2017-01-20"
irb > Time.strptime("2017 20", "%Y %j").strftime("%F")
=> "2017-01-01"
~~~

----------------------------------------
According to reference manual, Time.strptime() accepts the directive "%W" in a format string, but it seems not to be worked.
On the other hand, Date.strptime() accepts "%W" correctly.

irb(main):004:0> Date.strptime("2017 1", "%Y %W").strftime("%F")
