DESCRIPTION
Strftime deflator for DateTime objects.
When you redisplay a form to the user following an invalid submission, any fields with DateTime inflators will stringify to something like
'1970-01-01T00:00:00'. In most cases it makes more sense to use the same format you've asked the user for. This deflator allows you to
specify a more suitable and user-friendly format.
This deflator calls DateTime's "strftime" method. Possible values for the format string are documented at
<http://search.cpan.org/dist/DateTime/lib/DateTime.pm#strftime_Patterns>.
If you set the form's locale (see "locale" in HTML::FormFu) this is set on the DateTime object. Now you can use %x to get the default date
or %X for the default time for the object's locale.
