[bug #26361] NSCalendarDate %e format shows leading zeros

[Doug Simons]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #26361 (project gnustep):

It looks like someone checked in my patch already, which is great. I just
realized that this isn't EXACTLY what Cocoa is doing, though. Apple's
implementation isn't including the leading space for days less than 10 -- they
just output the single digit. Their documentation is slightly ambiguous on
this: "same as %d but does not print the leading 0 for days 1 through 9". 

I think most implementations of the strftime() function that support %e
include a leading space before a single digit, so it's certainly a reasonable
way to go. I also plan to tweak this code to support a field width specifier
(which Cocoa supports), which will then allow a format of "%1d" (or "%1e") to
suppress the leading zero or space.

Nevertheless, I thought I'd let you all know that the current implementation
is still not quite in sync with Apple's, in case you prefer to go for 100%
compatibility with Cocoa rather than compatibility with the rest of the world.
:-)
