Just an example:

Imagine a program, which (in entertainment purposes) reminds you famous events
occurred in the same month, but (some|few|many) years ago. In English it will
be probably "In January: ...", or, as strftime format: "In %B: ...".

Let us translate it to Russian: "В январе: ...". Note: month name in this
example is neither in nominative case (январь), and not in genitive case
(января), so neither "В %B: ..." nor "В %OB: ..." (proposed hack for genitive
case) is suitable.

***

I do not insist on format proposed by me. My point is that new implementation
should be able to produce any explicitly requested case of name (either month
or weekday, it seems there are no other names in this area). If you do not like
"precision" notation (borrowed from printf formats) — not a problem, just
propose another.
