Unfortunately, %E is already claimed as a format modifier (as in %Ec as the locale's alternative date and time representation). You may want to raise your proposal with the glibc team first in their strftime(3) interface; coreutils is hesitant to add new % modifiers in date(1) without prior practice from C libraries. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
