%N nanoseconds (000000000..999999999)
The current description gives the impression that nanoseconds are an
integral quantity like seconds and minutes. This leads the user to
assume that leading zeros are being removed.
Similar wording is used elsewhere:
%M minute (00..59)
%m month (01..12)
%H hour (00..23)
%W week number of year, with Monday as first day of week (00..53)
It's true that nanoseconds are more complicated than the others.
However, it's not clear whether all the little details need to be in the
man page, or how to summarize those details concisely.
