Simple concept, a bit tricky to implement well in e2.
Because the configuration GUI is split between basic and advanced (where such
custom date formatting would surely belong), we'd need to figure out a
mechanism for sensibly handling a disabled option (the current format-picker)
in basic mode, without confusing users too much.
I'm happy to try to make this work properly, when I get a bit of time.
