Hi, forum

I have two questions:

1) Why __DATE__ and __TIMESTAMP__ have these insane formats?
"mmm dd " and "www mmm dd hh:mm:ss "
I think its the first time in my life I encounter something 
like this. start with date, then print time, then the rest of 
the date - what?


2) Are those locale-specific?


There was a similar discussion some time ago where Walter also 
explained the origin of these formats:
