middle-endian date.

The POSIX -t option allows for an unambiguous numerical big-endian date.

POSIX man page for at has:

> SYNOPSIS
>        at [-m][-f file][-q queuename] -t time_arg

>        -t  time_arg
>               Submit  the  job  to  be  run  at the time specified by the time
>               option-argument, which the application shall ensure has the for-
>               mat as specified by the touch -t time utility.

POSIX man page for touch has:

>        -t  time
>               Use  the specified time instead of the current time. The option-
>               argument shall be a decimal number of the form:
