     *        *** WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY ***
     * Please use with care and only in situations where the DateFormat enum
     * or locale formats or individual string methods do not provide what you
     * need.  You should almost always translate your format string as
     * documented.  Using the standard DateFormat options instead would take
     * care of the translation for you.
     *
     * Warning: The %n element differs from the GNU/POSIX standard where it is
     * defined as a newline.  KDE currently uses this for short day number.  It
     * is recommended for compatibility purposes to use %-m instead.
     *
     * The toFormat parameter is a good candidate to be made translatable,
     * so that translators can adapt it to their language's convention.
     * There should also be a context using the "kdedt-format" keyword (for
     * automatic validation of translations) and stating the format's purpose:
     * \code
     * QDate reportDate;
     * KGlobal::locale()->calendar()->setDate(reportDate, reportYear, reportMonth, 1);
     * dateFormat = i18nc("(kdedt-format) Report month and year in report header", "%B %Y"));
     * dateString = KGlobal::locale()->calendar()->formatDate(reportDate, dateFormat);
     * \endcode
     *
     * The date format string can be defined using either the KDE or POSIX standards.
     * The KDE standard closely follows the POSIX standard but with some exceptions.
     * Always use the KDE standard within KDE, but where interaction is required with
     * external POSIX compliant systems (e.g. Gnome, glibc, etc) the POSIX standard
     * should be used.
     *
     * Date format strings are made up of date componants and string literals.
     * Date componants are prefixed by a % escape character and are made up of
     * optional padding and case modifier flags, an optional width value, and a
     * compulsary code for the actual date componant:
     *   %[Flags][Width][Componant]
     * e.g. %_^5Y
     * No spaces are allowed.
     *
     * The Flags can modify the padding character and/or case of the Date Componant.
     * The Flags are optional and may be combined and/or repeated in any order,

     * The following Date Componants can be specified:
     * @li %Y the year to 4 digits (e.g. "1984" for 1984, "0584" for 584, "0084" for 84)
     * @li %C the 'century' portion of the year to 2 digits (e.g. "19" for 1984, "05" for 584, "00" for 84)

     * @li %G the year number in long form of the ISO week of the year to 4 digits (e.g. "2004"  for 1 Jan 2005)

     * "%Y-%-m-%_4d" = "2009-1-   1"
     *
     * The following format codes behave differently in the KDE and POSIX standards
     * @li %e in GNU/POSIX is space padded to 2 digits, in KDE is not padded
     * @li %n in GNU/POSIX is newline, in KDE is short month number

     * @li %W US week number
     * @li %O locale's alternative numeric symbols, in KDE is not supported
