Dear all, I just found a weird behavior of the timeDate related functions Sys.timeDate() and as.timeDate(). Both of them take place when showing fractions of seconds and I think they might have the same source.
Do you know if it should be considered a bug of Sys.timeDate()? Also, what is a good way to generate timeDate with fractions of seconds from strings? I know I can just get the whole part of seconds and add fractions to it. That is a little bit unnecessarily awkward IMO.
