I'm not really convinced that %`date` isn't a usable solution for this,
especially since it seems like a very niche requirement. The next
person who wants it might well have a different desire than you
for exactly what gets shown. The output of date can be customized,
but a hard-wired prompt.c feature not so much.
On the whole I'd rather not eat more of the limited namespace for
psql prompt codes for this.
