[Zope-dev] Converters.py field2date() and :ignore_empty

If I have ignore_empty set in a variable name of type date, field2date() 
fails if the returned value is truly empty.

I think field2date() should return None rather than trying to call DateTime 
with an empty string.

I keep making this patch to each Zope release, but would like to talk 
about a more permanant and "correct" solution. What do others think?
