Yes, it seems to work with any numeric date now. I also like Ken Ray's
solution which lets the engine do the conversion and checks for errors,
since that works with long date formats. The advantage to your solution
is that it does not recognize a single integer as a date, which could be
important in some cases. I think there is a use for both functions
depending on the script context.
