[GNC-dev] End of 'X' date on 3.4-50 (maint)

[Bob Gustafson]

Whenever I can, I use/convertTo the format 2019-02-02 (unfortunate that 
today is the 2nd of February. Things are less ambiguous near the end of 
months). This format is more native to SQL databases and also will sort 
reasonably when used in flat file names.

I think the US Govt issues passports with expiration dates in the last 
half of the month - just to cut down the confusion. (This may have 
changed though..)

Decades ago I searched for 24hr watches - smart phones have eliminated 
that need.

Have fun - Bob G
