If you don't need the time and just the date, then Date seems to have a much wider range

Yeah, that's my feeling.  If you can separate the columns, you could  
use HighLine to wrap the text (just pass a StringIO as the output  
stream).  Then you could zip() and join() the columns.

I can't decide if it would be scary cool if HighLine did this, or  
grossly over-reaching it's scope...  :)

Maybe we should just port Damian's format library from Perl.
