I should note that that is a primary use case for me.

I'm just about always taking dates in one format and
converting them to another, sometimes with some other
operations inbetween.

I'm also a believer that a given method shouldn't (in
general) change its behaviour like that. I would expect
format_datetime to always format the same way. Otherwise
you might lose interoperability.
