DESCRIPTION

       Strftime deflator for DateTime objects.

       When you redisplay a form to the user following an invalid submission, any fields with
       DateTime inflators will stringify to something like '1970-01-01T00:00:00'. In most cases
       it makes more sense to use the same format you've asked the user for. This deflator allows
       you to specify a more suitable and user-friendly format.

       This deflator calls DateTime's "strftime" method. Possible values for the format string
       are documented at
       <http://search.cpan.org/dist/DateTime/lib/DateTime.pm#strftime_Patterns>.

       If you set the form's locale (see "locale" in HTML::FormFu) this is set on the DateTime
       object. Now you can use %x to get the default date or %X for the default time for the
       object's locale.
