Comment (by Ciantic):
I see this patch or some modification of this patch as necessity.
Representations of full formats in own locale is not in wide use and
people don't even seem to know about them. Most of programs just happily
uses incorrect ways to format datetimes in their templates and views, e.g.
hardcoded finnish format "23.4.2007 13:25" or English format. But because
Django '''already supports localed representations''' why not to give easy
way to use them?
One possibility is to create ''templatetags'' (similar as now tag) and
''filters'' (similar as date filter) for each of those ''hidden features''
of Django. But I see it is more sane and natural to add these ''hidden
features'' to the actual Formatters so using them is most common (e.g.
syntax is similar as strftime's syntax).
Please note, that Formatters '''already consists these types of full
formats''' like:
* `r` RFC 822 formatted date. 'Thu, 21 Dec 2000 16:01:07 +0200'
So adding these common full formats to formatters does not collide with
any "no full formats here" type of idea, which also backs up the idea
adding these to the Formatters directly, rather than creating own
templatetags and filters.
