Good. You are of cause rigth in saying that we do not have a way to capitalize
such
names. But then let us make a way to do it. My thoughts are to make some
format specifier to change the first character til uppercase, both for
month and day names, and their abbreviations. I don't have a specific
proposal - but maybe a + somewhere could do it. What do you think?
Best regards
