What it boils down to is asking the data storage layer to perform a 
presentation layer task.

If you insist on solving the problem inside an SQL statement, you can always 
write your own extension function to "easily" perform the necessary conversion.

No, that is not what I was trying to say or ask.  Not even close. What I was 
trying to say, and most of you missed it was, that if I give date a date 
format, and I also provide the format of how that date is to be understood, ie.

date('5/22/2019','m/d/yyyy')

where the date is the first entry, '5/22/2019', and the format is the second 
entry, 'm/d/yyyy', that SQLite could take that set of data and easily convert 
and return the ISO date I want.  Yes, I know I can write that outside the code, 
or inside in SQL, but "it would be nice to have this."  Thanks for all the 
responses.
