Dear coreutils maintainers,

to facilitate date calculations I would suggest format specifiers to output
the date as a julian date with and without day fraction, e.g.

# date --date='2003-09-10' +%u
2452893

# date --date='2003-09-10 18:00:00' +%U
2452893.25

Implementations may use the Jean Meeus or the Fliegel-Van Flandern
algorithm.


Best regards,
Alexander Veit
