Perhaps we could have a single format code plus an optional '#' for the "alternate form":
%T for short form %#T for fully qualified name
OTOH, if %T and variants meant "type" but %t mean something entirely different, that *would* probably be confusing.
I think folks used to %-formatting are already used to un-related but similar codes (and related but dissimilar):
- %M for minute - %m for month (or maybe I have that backwards) - %H for 24-hour clock - %I for 12-hour clock - %w for weekday as decimal number - %W for week number of the year
I always have to look it up. :(
Well, for the time of day (24-hour) it's %H:%M:%S, all uppercase.
