hi!
further to another discussion on tech, i'm looking to document those
options which posix say we should, but we do not. it should be only for
a very small number of utilities, and pretty straightforward (famous
last...)
anyway, i wanted to post the date(1) part since it's a bit more
controversial. posix lists this format as an xsi extension:
mmddhhmm[[cc]yy]
however we support this format:
[[[[[cc]yy]mm]dd]HH]MM[.SS]
just posting in case i've horribly misunderstood something. i'll commit,
barring objection.
