Sorry to chime in on an old issue. Whilst it is good to have the ability to 
format the string up to microsecond precision, it would be better to be able to 
control the precision used.

For instance, the ISO8601 specification states that there is no strictly 
defined precision to be used, and that any such precision should be agreed 
between parties exchanging ISO8601 datetimes.

Would it be possible to state the precision when formatting ISO8601 datetimes - 
e.g. %3f to only print up to millisecond precision? presumable %f would keep 
the original functionality of printing right up to the microseconds.
