It is possible to override the default padding behavior of numeric specifiers `%?`.
This is not allowed for other specifiers and will result in the `BAD_FORMAT` error.

Modifier | Description
-------- | -----------
`%-?`    | Suppresses any padding including spaces and zeroes. (e.g. `%j` = `012`, `%-j` = `12`)
`%_?`    | Uses spaces as a padding. (e.g. `%j` = `012`, `%_j` = ` 12`)
`%0?`    | Uses zeroes as a padding. (e.g. `%e` = ` 9`, `%0e` = `09`)

Notes:

[^1]: `%C`, `%y`:
   This is floor division, so 100 BCE (year number -99) will print `-1` and `99` respectively.

[^2]: `%U`:
   Week 1 starts with the first Sunday in that year.
   It is possible to have week 0 for days before the first Sunday.

[^3]: `%G`, `%g`, `%V`:
   Week 1 is the first week with at least 4 days in that year.
   Week 0 does not exist, so this should be used with `%G` or `%g`.

[^4]: `%S`:
   It accounts for leap seconds, so `60` is possible.

[^5]: `%+`: Same as `%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%.f%:z`, i.e. 0, 3, 6 or 9 fractional
   digits for seconds and colons in the time zone offset.
   <br>
   <br>
   This format also supports having a `Z` or `UTC` in place of `%:z`. They
   are equivalent to `+00:00`.
   <br>
   <br>
   Note that all `T`, `Z`, and `UTC` are parsed case-insensitively.
   <br>
   <br>
   The typical `strftime` implementations have different (and locale-dependent)
   formats for this specifier. While Chrono's format for `%+` is far more
   stable, it is best to avoid this specifier if you want to control the exact
   output.

[^6]: `%s`:
   This is not padded and can be negative.
   For the purpose of Chrono, it only accounts for non-leap seconds
   so it slightly differs from ISO C `strftime` behavior.

[^7]: `%f`, `%.f`, `%.3f`, `%.6f`, `%.9f`, `%3f`, `%6f`, `%9f`:
   <br>
   The default `%f` is right-aligned and always zero-padded to 9 digits
   for the compatibility with glibc and others,
   so it always counts the number of nanoseconds since the last whole second.
   E.g. 7ms after the last second will print `007000000`,
   and parsing `7000000` will yield the same.
   <br>
   <br>
   The variant `%.f` is left-aligned and print 0, 3, 6 or 9 fractional digits
   according to the precision.
   E.g. 70ms after the last second under `%.f` will print `.070` (note: not `.07`),
   and parsing `.07`, `.070000` etc. will yield the same.
   Note that they can print or read nothing if the fractional part is zero or
   the next character is not `.`.
   <br>
   <br>
   The variant `%.3f`, `%.6f` and `%.9f` are left-aligned and print 3, 6 or 9 fractional digits
   according to the number preceding `f`.
   E.g. 70ms after the last second under `%.3f` will print `.070` (note: not `.07`),
   and parsing `.07`, `.070000` etc. will yield the same.
   Note that they can read nothing if the fractional part is zero or
   the next character is not `.` however will print with the specified length.
   <br>
   <br>
   The variant `%3f`, `%6f` and `%9f` are left-aligned and print 3, 6 or 9 fractional digits
   according to the number preceding `f`, but without the leading dot.
   E.g. 70ms after the last second under `%3f` will print `070` (note: not `07`),
   and parsing `07`, `070000` etc. will yield the same.
   Note that they can read nothing if the fractional part is zero.

[^8]: `%Z`:
   Offset will not be populated from the parsed data, nor will it be validated.
   Timezone is completely ignored. Similar to the glibc `strptime` treatment of
   this format code.
   <br>
   <br>
   It is not possible to reliably convert from an abbreviation to an offset,
   for example CDT can mean either Central Daylight Time (North America) or
   China Daylight Time.
