I got this brilliant idea.
Let's say one likes the output of

$ date --iso-8601=seconds
2020-11-30T21:15:47+08:00

but wants to know "how you did it?"

Hmmm, no assistance from
$ date --iso-8601=seconds --debug
2020-11-30T21:15:50+08:00

Ah, if only there were a:
$ date --iso-8601=seconds --expose-flags
date +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z

Then one needn't use trial and error to figure out the template being
used behind the scenes!

date (GNU coreutils) 8.32
