The output part is already available in SpiderMokey through
d.toLocaleFormat("%Y-%m-%d") where d is an instance of Date as there
toLocaleFormat is effectively a wrapper around strftime. Perhaps
instead of inventing  Date.toSomeParticularDateFormat and
corresponding Date.parseSomeParticularFormat ES4 should just provide
functionality available in C via strftime / strptime?
