Convert date from received time

```
Clock.currTime().toSimpleString()
```

So that i can get a more readable look:

`2023-Mar-22 16:53:42.2507395` => `2023.03.22 16:53:42`

Maybe there's a better way but I just do this.

```
import std;

void main()
{
     const now = Clock.currTime();
     enum pattern = "%d.%02d.%02d %02d:%02d:%02d";
     writefln(pattern, now.year, now.month, now.day, now.hour, 
now.minute, now.second);
}
```

I missed the part about receiving the time, so ignore my previous 
post.

D's datetime intentionally does not tackle formatting -- it's a huge 
undertaking.

There is an option on code.dlang.org:
