Unfortunately, I'm not aware of anyone for whom the %c format output in
the C locale is the preferred date/time format. The bit of separating the
month and day from the year is particularly odd. And unfortunately, that
format is pretty well set in stone by now.

This English-speaking American likes 2002-05-31 17:07:29 quite a bit
better than Fri May 31 17:07:29 2002, which is not my preferred date
format by any stretch of the imagination.
