I propose %N for the new format (all the good ones > are taken :( ). Diffs against -current follow. It is already possible to print single-digit month numbers with a leading space instead of a leading zero using "%_m". Similarly, "%-m" will output only the digit(s). This extension is originally from glibc and works with day numbers as well. Considering strftime(3) letters are in short supply, it seems unwise to use them up without good reason. -- Jilles Tjoelker
