I guess what I'm thinking of `Www Mmm dd hh:mm:ss yyyy` as representing isn't 
so much a format, but rather a literal replacement of where each value has a 
placeholder in the string (that is, a pattern).  So, even if `Www` doesn't mean 
anything, to me it means that the first three characters in the string are a 
Weekday, then there's a space, then Mmm is the month, then a space, then dd is 
the day number (with zero sometimes suppressed), etc.  

If that is more confusing than not using it, then that's fine.  I just wanted 
to mention it.

Using %d to me is also confusing since the docs define %d as `Day of the month 
as a decimal number [01,31]`.  This clearly isn't using 01, but rather 
suppressing the 0.
