There is no difficulty in figuring it out. The difficulty is that once we do
figure it out, it becomes apparent that the only solutions are either, one of
various messy hacks, or a wait for upstream - so the best solution is upstream.

I am very hesitant to put in work on this, only to deliver an almost-solution
and a let-down. That's why I looked into limitations like this (and other
things like milliseconds) Still, let us not ignore that this issue has been
open for some 7 years now. I would not be sane, to make changes which will
*require* a future developer to maintain my spaghetti code. It's obvious that
such a developer might not even exist. I'd be creating an unsustainable
maintenance burden, and a clock that will break in the future, which I'm sure
everyone can agree, is even worse than a clock which lacks a desired formatting
option.

I do understand that this feature is important to you, so I'll spend some extra
time trying to find the least-spaghetti way to deal with it, and see if I can
make something practical... but no promises. The official answer from me is
"not supported upstream, sorry". I'll see what I can do.
