This is why I have asked for functions in lib/timeutils.c to make
short, full or iso formats explicitly defined on one place to avoid
creativity in utils code and such discussions.
We need:
- human readable times:
* full (%c -- now asctime)
* short ("%H:%M:%S, "%b%d/%H:%M", "%Y-%b%d")
- ISO:
* full
* short
