It would be nice if you could use strftime to generate dates with ordinal suffixes. I propose the addition of another flag to support this: the @ character. The intended usage would be: > Date.parse('2013-03-01').strftime('%B %@d, %Y') => "March 1st, 2013" > Date.parse('2013-03-02').strftime('%B %@d, %Y') => "March 2nd, 2013" > Date.parse('2013-03-03').strftime('%B %@d, %Y') => "March 3rd, 2013" ...etc Assuming this would be accepted, I'd be happy to implement the feature. Could someone tell me how to proceed? -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
