Adding _() doesn't sound right to me, as it would cause "date" to not
conform to POSIX in some cases. For example, suppose LC_ALL is unset,
LC_TIME="POSIX", and LANG="ko_KR". In that case, POSIX.2 says that
LC_TIME determines the format and contents of date and time strings
written by date, which means "date" must generate output using the
POSIX locale; but adding _() would cause "date" to use a Korean
translation of the format.
