Well, the function can be adapted for the "%Y-%m-%d %h:%m:%s" case. Parsing
the input would probably much trickier, though.
Not to mention that sub-second resolution is highly
platform-dependent and not part of the relatively standard
strftime/strptime API.
My thought on ability to handle milli/micro/nano seconds in the
calendrical context is, No, not any time soon. (gretl's "stopwatch"
does handle sub-second resolution to the extent that's supported by
the platform, but that's a different matter from calendar-related
stuff.)
