[pro] User defined format functions

[Peter Seibel]

Of course they are. That's what allows this hack (first suggested by
Erik Naggum, I believe):

(defpackage :iso (:use) (:export :|8601|))

(defun iso:8601 (out arg colon-p at-sign-p &rest params)
  (write-string (format-iso-8601-time
                 arg
                 :time-zone (first params)
                 :omit-time (and at-sign-p (not colon-p))
                 :omit-date colon-p
                 :omit-time-zone (and colon-p (not at-sign-p))) out))


And then:

CL-USER> (format t "~/iso:8601/" (get-universal-time))
2011-01-25T11:51:15-8:00
