  Description     : Format DateTime objects from inside TT with DateTime::Format-style formatters

Oftentimes, you have a DateTime object that you want to render in your template.
However, the default rendering (2008-01-01T01:23:45) is pretty ugly. Formatting
the DateTime with a DateTime::Format object is the usual solution, but there's
usually not a nice place to put the formatting code.
..
This plugin solves that problem. You can create a formatter object from within
TT and then use that object to format DateTime objects.
