You cannot set an arbitrary format. From a UI point of view it is great to format it "localized", but if you have strict requirements in your projects, then you have to build it up yourself or use a library. So I do not see, how to use Intl.DateTimeFormat for custom format strings.

I would like to suggest to take up date formatting into the standard.
Either as optional format parameter on Date.prototype.toDateString() or
as a separate method Date.prototype.toFormattedDateString(format).

format should be a string in the form as specified in
https://tc39.github.io/ecma262/#sec-date-time-string-format

I know there are libraries for that, but I think it is fundamental
enough to put it into the standard instead.

I hope this was not already discussed before and I just did not find the
thread.
