  /*! Facet used for format-based output of time types 
   * This class provides for the use of format strings to output times.  In addition
   * to the flags for formatting date elements, the following are the allowed format flags:
   *  - %x %X => default format - enables addition of more flags to default (ie. "%x %X %z")
   *  - %f => fractional seconds ".123456"
   *  - %F => fractional seconds or none: like frac sec but empty if frac sec == 0
   *  - %s => seconds w/ fractional sec "02.123" (this is the same as "%S%f) 
   *  - %S => seconds "02"
   *  - %z => abbreviated time zone "EDT"
   *  - %Z => full time zone name "Eastern Daylight Time"
