Technical stuff

Implemented for a colleague when I realised there doesn’t seem to be anything like this online, and date --date=INPUT +'%A, %-d %B %+4Y at %-I:%M:%S %P %Z' wasn’t an option.

If you’re interested in how this works, the code and tests are both available.

Basically, the input must be a valid Date constructor argument, and will be converted to the locale and time zone of your browser.
