There is an extension for 6!:0
  ...The argument may be ... a string of the letters Y M D h m s and 
other characters, producing a formatted string. For example: 
   6!:0 'YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss.sss'
2007-10-30 13:10:46.875

However, if there are earlier values of 6!:0 numeric vector,
how to get the same format?
If there is a piece of code that knows to do the formatting,
is it only available for current time?

Typically, time-reporting and time arithmentic routines
are separate from time formatting ones, which are in turn
bundled together with other formatting: numeric, currency,
compound messages (printf) -- often related to localization.

Whereas different formatting facilities are in different places
 - 6!:0     current time
 - 8!:x     numeric format
 - 9!:10    print precision
 - 'dates'  date and time utilities
 - 'format' misc formatting, tables, clipboard
 - 'printf' compound messages, numbers, hex, etc.
