+        Converts a ISO-8601 `datetime_string` into a `datetime.datetime` object.
+
+        The converter is flexible in the formats it accepts, as it uses the `isoparse` method of
+        `dateutil.parser`. In general, it accepts datetime strings that start with a date,
+        optionally followed by a time. Specifying a timezone offset in the datetime string is
+        supported, but the `datetime` object will be converted to UTC and will be returned without
+        `tzinfo` as a timezone-unaware `datetime` object.
+
+        See: https://dateutil.readthedocs.io/en/stable/parser.html#dateutil.parser.isoparse
+
+        Formats that are guaranteed to be valid by our tests are:
+
+        - `YYYY-mm-ddTHH:MM:SSZ` | `YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM:SSZ`
+        - `YYYY-mm-ddTHH:MM:SS±HH:MM` | `YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM:SS±HH:MM`
+        - `YYYY-mm-ddTHH:MM:SS±HHMM` | `YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM:SS±HHMM`
+        - `YYYY-mm-ddTHH:MM:SS±HH` | `YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM:SS±HH`
+        - `YYYY-mm-ddTHH:MM:SS` | `YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM:SS`
+        - `YYYY-mm-ddTHH:MM` | `YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM`
+        - `YYYY-mm-dd`
+        - `YYYY-mm`
+        - `YYYY`
+
+        Note: ISO-8601 specifies a `T` as the separator between the date and the time part of the
+        datetime string. The converter accepts both a `T` and a single space character.
