Description
Hi,
is there a possibility to pre-define that only dates will be parsed?
Would this speed up the computation?
Right now the parsing of many languages takes too long so we have narrowed it down to EN, DE and ES. But we would like to apply it to all available languages.
Thanks in advance

Research direction
The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by tracing how dateparser selects parsing modes across languages, then measure date-only parsing against the current behavior; done means a documented option exists, works across available languages, and its performance impact is covered by tests.
