     * - %e - space-padded day of the month as a decimal number [ 1,31]; equivalent to %_d.
     * - %f - microseconds as a decimal number [000000, 999999].
     * - %H - hour (24-hour clock) as a decimal number [00,23].
     * - %I - hour (12-hour clock) as a decimal number [01,12].

     * - %Q - milliseconds since UNIX epoch.
     * - %s - seconds since UNIX epoch.
     * - %S - second as a decimal number [00,61].
     * - %u - Monday-based (ISO) weekday as a decimal number [1,7].
     * - %U - Sunday-based week of the year as a decimal number [00,53].
     * - %V - ISO 8601 week number of the year as a decimal number [01, 53].
     * - %w - Sunday-based weekday as a decimal number [0,6].
     * - %W - Monday-based week of the year as a decimal number [00,53].
     * - %x - the locale’s date, such as %-m/%-d/%Y.*
     * - %X - the locale’s time, such as %-I:%M:%S %p.*
     * - %y - year without century as a decimal number [00,99].
     * - %Y - year with century as a decimal number.
     * - %Z - time zone offset, such as -0700, -07:00, -07, or Z.
     * - %% - a literal percent sign (%).
     *
     * Directives marked with an asterisk (*) may be affected by the locale definition.

     * For %U, all days in a new year preceding the first Sunday are considered to be in week 0.
     * For %W, all days in a new year preceding the first Monday are considered to be in week 0.
     * Week numbers are computed using interval.count. For example, 2015-52 and 2016-00 represent
     * Monday, December 28, 2015, while 2015-53 and 2016-01 represent Monday, January 4, 2016.
     * This differs from the ISO week date specification (%V), which uses a more complicated definition!
     *
     * For %V, per the strftime man page:
     *
     * In this system, weeks start on a Monday, and are numbered from 01, for the first week, up to 52 or 53, for the last week.
     * Week 1 is the first week where four or more days fall within the new year (or, synonymously,
     * week 01 is: the first week of the year that contains a Thursday; or, the week that has 4 January in it).
     *
     * The % sign indicating a directive may be immediately followed by a padding modifier:
     *
     * 1) 0 - zero-padding
     * 2) _ - space-padding
     * 3) - disable padding
     *
     * If no padding modifier is specified, the default is 0 for all directives except %e, which defaults to _.
     * (In some implementations of strftime and strptime, a directive may include an optional field width or precision;
     * this feature is not yet implemented.)
     *
     * The returned function formats a specified date, returning the corresponding string.
