I only care for the date specific handlers to be active such that the following,\r\n```\r\nChronic.parse(\"17 april 89\")  => 1969-04-17 12:00:00 -0500\r\n```\r\nwill parse as expected. Except I wish to turn of the 'simple' and 'complex' handlers such that:\r\n```\r\nChronic.parse(\"tomorrow\") => nil\r\n```\r\n\r\n# Possible implementation\r\n\r\nThis could be done through the option interface,  either via definitions\r\n```\r\nChronic.parse(\"tomorrow\", :definitions => :date)\r\n```\r\nor view handler specification\r\n```\r\nChronic.parse(\"tomorrow\", :handlers => [:handle_m_d])\r\n```\r\n\r\n"}}
