I have mixed feelings about that. Technically it is a breaking change
in the API, since the package was never considered as private.

On the other hand the alternative would be to either to remove the
`parser` field in `FastDateFormat` and change all the `parse` methods
to throw an exception or to rewire everything to use `FastDatePrinter`
instead of `FastDateFormat`.
