What does Walter have to do with anything here? He's not implementing any 
date/time stuff, and he's not all that involved with Phobos development in 
general. I'm likely the one to be implementing the custom date/time 
formatting, and the current plan is to do something similar to strftime, since 
that scheme seems to be fairly standard across several languages.
