True, there's no hansl function to do this. What do you need it for?
From your Windows example (omitted here) it seems you want an ISO 8601
string (YYYY-MM-DD). This could be provided easily enough as a built-in
function using the C library. But do you want the date relative to the
local timezone, or UTC, or some US timezone in which a particular data
server is located?
