I can't seem to find anything in Phobos that allows you to specify custom formats for dates.

Am I on my own or is there already such functionality?

I'm interested in a formatter with the possibility to output ex.:

December 20th, 2017 10:00 AM

All I could find was toSimpleString(), but it seem to use a
pre-defined format like:
YYYY-Mon-DD HH:MM:SS

At present, the only formats that Phobos supports are ISO, ISO Extended, and Boost's simple time format. It does not yet have support for custom date/time formatting beyond constructing the string yourself from the properties on a DateTime or SysTime.

This was posted about recently in the Announce group though:

It might do what you want.

Unfortunately I can't rely on any third-party packages for it :p

But thanks anyway @ both of you.

I'll write my own function to do it :)
