Can we move this warning/notice into code? Basically warn/disallow
IYYY-MM-DD (and similar) as a valid format?
And why not make it an error. If someone really needed to output mixed
modes they would be able to concatenate the two halves together to get the
desired result so it isn't like we are making it impossible to accomplish -
but the typical mistake goes away.
