Not having looked at this function in a while, I was doubtful the
above would work, but in fact it looks like it does (analogous to the
above case). While lots of this function is underspecified, the
contract for the return value is well-designed.
The want_century logic may be incomplete for %D and now %F, though. If
so that's a separate issue from lack of %F extension and should be
fixed in a separate patch. I think %F just needs to set want_century
to 0, but %D might have more work to do.
