The date and time fields available via strftime, .NET standard, or .NET custom format templates.
Locale-specific formats will differ outside en-US. strftime doesn't support unpadded numeric values,
so the conversion from .NET single-digit values are approximations that use leading zeros.
The examples are using a value of 2063-04-05T15:26:42.
