Comment:

 Before checking in a doc change that claims something works, we should
 first verify it works.  Adding a testcase that attempts to use this
 formatting option would seem to be wise.  Actually, based on #10318 and
 the associated django-users thread: http://groups.google.com/group/django-
 users/browse_thread/thread/5a156fbddee22d3b/e255ffea08bd3d4d, it appears
 the doc is more right than wrong here -- I can't see how the existing code
 is correct.

 I don't know whether the right answer is to to fix the code to match the
 doc (raise NotImplemented there, as it used to before r992) or fix the
 implementation.

 Note #10318 has a test, but that test fails on Windows due to
 strftime('%s') there returning an empty string rather then a number, so
 that test can't be directly used in our test suite.
