+       * strftime.c [FPRINTFTIME] (fprintftime): Provide a new interface:
+       size_t fprintftime (FILE *fp, char const *fmt, struct tm const *tm,
+                           int utc, int nanoseconds);
+       Background:
+       date should not have to allocate a megabyte of virtual memory to
+       handle a format argument like +%1048575T.  When implemented with
+       strftime, it must allocate such a buffer, use strftime to fill it
+       in, print it, then free it.
+
+       With fprintftime, it simply prints everything and exits.
+       With no need for memory allocation, that's one fewer way to fail.
+       * fprintftime.c, fprintftime.h: New files.
