I'm sorry, @Izno, but what does "does not allow auto-formatted dates" mean? Showing "2016-12-31" to the reader does not make much sense. Dates must be formatted.

{{#statements|…}} is meant as a convenience feature that fits most needs, but never can fit all needs. If a community does not like the output it produces, they are free to stick to #property and apply their own formatting. Additionally, I hope we can add parameters to the #statements function that allow specifying other date formats and such.

@hoo, I'm tempted to close this ticket as invalid because both #property and #statement do not output "just the ISO-like representation" but formatted, localized strings, e.g. "2. Oktober 2015". So what is this ticket about? The description is empty.
