Unless it was removed after the very-late-draft I have, there is. See
my earlier mail in this thread which quoted 7.23.3.5. This says,
among other things,
The
appropriate characters are determined using the LC_TIME
category of the current locale and by the values of zero or
more members of the broken-down time structure pointed to by
timeptr, as specified in brackets in the description.
and most[$] conversion has field names specified, such as
%B is replaced by the locale's full month name. [tm_mon]
[$] A few have neither field names nor brackets, such as %n ("is
replaced by a new-line character"). Personally I would have preferred
to have an empty pair of brackets there, but oh well.
