Ok, I see that there is also already a conflict with the ISO notation in the DDD token, which in ISO 8601 is used for three digit day of year. Maybe that could be nice to have as TW date token also.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Ordinal_dates > As represented above, [YYYY] indicates a year. [DDD] is the day of that year, from 001 through 365 (366 in leap years). For example, "1981-04-05" is also "1981-095". The "dd" format is reminding of the numerical notation in the month date, but at the same time may be confusingly similar and suggesting a two digit representation. "dddd" feels more related to the existing weekday name notations, one could think that longer token indicates lesser units in this case. I'm not sure which one to prefer. How could a day of year-token fit into this? yDDD?
