Now that the tooling is reporting errors, I noticed that date_fmt is
not one of the POSIX localedef keywords. It's glibc-specific and I
can't seem to find a reference on the intended difference in meaning
vs D_FMT. We should figure out if this is something we need to
replicate or if it's some sort of historial mistake.
