This is not a bug report but a feature request. Sorry if I sent to the wrong channel. In the "date" program, it would be nice to have a Quaker representation of the day of the year. The Quakers thought that the names "January" "February," etc., were ungodly, so they only referred to the months by number. Their abbreviated date representation used capitalized roman numerals: 14/II/2000, for example. I thus propose a the following GNU extension to the date format, whereby: date +%Q yields "14/II/2000" and date +%q yields "the fourteenth day of the second month of the year of our Lord two thousand," which is the unabbreviated representation. The Quakers don't do this anymore, but have come to accept the popular month names. Nevertheless, it would be nice, for historical consistency, to have this option. The sequences %q and %Q aren't yet taken, and they are easy to remember, unlike the weekday name sequences %a and %A, for example. Thank you, Jonathan Pyle
