bug#14535: Wishlist: date(1): missing search keyword (UTC)

Hi,

just did man date, searched for "UTC" yet failed to hit the desired
-u (--utc) section (IOW, a somewhat annoying productivity roadbump).

Thus it would be useful to extend
       -u, --utc, --universal
              print or set Coordinated Universal Time
to
       -u, --utc, --universal
              print or set Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)

in order to avoid dearly wasted seconds of a many users' lifetime :)


I would have submitted a format-patch vs. master, but due to the confusing
(but likely useful) indirection in source I failed to successfully grep
on where to change things (likely in src/date.c/usage() since that output
possibly gets auto-generated into man pages,
but perhaps somewhere else as well).

Thanks!

Andreas Mohr
