Oops.
I forgot to zero-pad.  Otherwise, with<  100,000,000ns in the first
case or<  100 in the 2nd, and the above would print invalid numbers.

This is the right way:

   To get full seconds.nanoseconds, you'd use a format like %X.%0:X
   and if you want only milliseconds, you'd use %X.%03.3:X

Do we really want to require that users must manually 0-pad, or can we explicitly state that %:X has a minimum width of min(precision,9), and 0 padding is only needed if you want a width greater than 9.
