The author of strftime had no idea it would be diddled with some crazy ISO C bullshit that will take up nearly every letter in the alphabet. Please, let us not drag the strftime author into this; that author provided a simple, mostly clean formatting mechanism with mostly mnemonic codes: save for a few gotchas to watch out for like %m versus %M.
