I think we would very much prefer, instead of piling hacks on top of the originally supported "minimum set", to introduce a truly extensible syntax, like:I concur, but pretty-please make it a super set of date(1) to the extent possible. It will lessen the confusion. Maybe something like "%c(%Y-%m-%d %H:%M) ...", eg. such that if `date +<format>' is legal, so is "%c(<format>)".
Please read what you are replying to again. If you said the above with %cT(...), it might have made some sense (but then how are you differentiate between local and original timezone?), but %c(...) needs to show not just the timestamp.
