Okay I hate %x ("Preferred date representation based on locale") in English.
("03/09/21" nonsense!!!)
So I'm going to have the gettext()'d format string for strftime() be
this, which everyone can simply replace in their localization
(e.g., "%Y-%m-%d" or just "%F", if you want ISO 8601 "YYYY-MM-DD"
format, which I do love for technical use.)
%B %e, %Y
That's full month name (_should_ be localized), one digit day,
four digit year. So in English:
March 9, 2021
I realize this is almost identical to what I had before ("%e %B %Y"),
_but_, since the format string is now wrapped in gettext(), hopefully
it will be more flexible. :)
