For datetime's date, time, and datetime types, the __format__ method
passes the spec to strftime:
>>> t = datetime.datetime(2038,1,19,3,14,7)
>>> '{:%H:%M:%S}'.format(t)
'03:14:07'
If the format spec is empty, it uses __str__:
>>> format(t)
'2038-01-19 03:14:07'
But this is unrelated to timedelta, which lacks a custom __format__.
