Description Ondrej Oprala 2013-05-24 14:23:12 UTC 
The strftime function's swap case flag (#) provides unexpected output for some format modifiers (a, A, b...). I'm guessing very few people would benefit from Tuesday being swapped to tUESDAY, but IMHO at least the ^# combination should produce the expected lowercase output.

Thanks.
