fyi, i've pushed a patch that adds a :pattern keyword arg for most of
the formatters (except the currency formatter, which is a bit
half-done for now).

with this patch you can do things like the following for a 5x speed
and 10 times consing penalty:

(cl-l10n::format-date/gregorian-calendar nil (local-time:now) :pattern
"yyyy 'foo' MMMM 'bar' dd")

"2008 foo November bar 15"
