bug#40586: date and '%-N' does not appear to remove leading zeros anymor

%-N is intended to be used after a decimal point...


Please note this intention in the man-page. The current man-page:

%N     nanoseconds (000000000..999999999)

The current description gives the impression that nanoseconds are anintegral quantity like seconds and minutes. This leads the user toassume that leading zeros are being removed.
