Dear coreutils maintainers,
to facilitate date calculations I would suggest format specifiers to output
the date as a julian date with and without day fraction, e.g.
# date --date='2003-09-10' +%u
2452893
# date --date='2003-09-10 18:00:00' +%U
2452893.25
Implementations may use the Jean Meeus or the Fliegel-Van Flandern
algorithm.
Best regards,
Alexander Veit
