Are you planing to update this patch? I was wanting to use it for some
tests and figured out that it had stayed as a proposal, too bad.

I would suggest to maybe follow Tom's %u idea and fix the implementation
details wrt to comments received?

It seems to me that always having milliseconds "123456789.012" would be
fine, it can easily be filtered out if not necessary or would be there if
useful, so maybe just one more format is enough.
