I'm a huge fan of strftime, but being built around "struct tm" it has no way
of knowing about fractional seconds and so there are no %-escapes for
formatting them.  Do you have any thoughts on how a format might be
expressed for ptime, which can clearly be used to carry a much higher
resolution timestamp?
