strftime specifiers are an extremely scarse resource. Any addition can
conflict with future extensions in the standard and standard bodies often don't
pay attention to existing implementations.
You'll have to get an extension accepted by either or both of the ISO C and
POSIX bodies.
BTW: instead of wasting yet another character it might be better to use
modifiers to existing specifiers. Look at GNU date for inspiration.
Report back when you get results from the standard bodies.
