__TIMESTAMP__ is pretty useless:
`string literal of the date and time of compilation "www mmm dd

which is a weird non-standard format not understood by std.datetime.
It's the format emitted by the Standard C library function asctime():

__DATE__ and __TIME__ are also pretty useless.
These also match the format of the Standard C preprocessor macros
__DATE__ and __TIME__.
We should support __ISOTIMESTAMP__ which is readable by std.datetime [1].
The compiler is in D after all, we can use it! Or at least, port enough
of std.datetime to display it :)
