OK, maybe add an option that would show what all the flags are now, and in
the current locale,
$ date --examples-current
which would give sort of like what
$ set -- $(date --help|
perl -anlwe 'next unless /./;$_=$F[0];s/^%/+%/||s/(^-.),/$1/||next;print')
$ for i do echo $i;date $i;echo;done
does now.
But also add a plain
$ date --examples
which would give e.g., 11/22/2002 examples, so the user would be sure to see
maximal spaced examples...
